330 .. $a "We are living in the midst of an American Awakening, without God and without forgiveness.
The first two Awakenings brought religious renewal; the third-the social gospel movement
and its aftermath (1880-1910)-invoked the authority of religion to bring about political
and social transformation, but lost sight of Christianity along the way. The Awakening
through which we are now living comprehends politics through the categories of religion
without recognizing it, has no place for the God who judges or the God who forgives,
and has brought America to a dead end, beyond which no one can see. Identity politics
renders judgment not based on sins of omission and commission, but on the publicly
visible, unalterable, attributes that precede whatever citizens might do or leave
undone. Identity politics offers no forgiveness for transgressions, because they are
irredeemable. Liberal politics was once concerned with working together to build a
common world. Identity politics has transformed politics. It has turned politics into
a religious venue of sacrificial offering. For the moment, the irredeemable scapegoat
is the white, heterosexual, man. After he is humiliated and purged, on whom will innocent
victims turn their cathartic rage? White women? Black men? Identity politics is the
anti-egalitarian spiritual eugenics of our age. It demands that pure and innocent
groups ascend, and the stained transgressor groups be purged. If religious revivals
are understood as collective efforts to redeem a stained world, then identity politics
is an American religious revival-this time around, without God"
