The God-who-is-nice presides over a Christian culture that decries social upheaval of any kind. It recognizes that there are traditions that must be kept intact for the social order to thrive. These are traditions that are often rooted deeply in racism or sexism, such as normative gender roles like the stay-at-home Mom or “boys will be boys.” It’s a God that is the mascot for communities that are white-washed and dyed in the red-white-and-blue, communities whose watchwords are “traditional values.”
