Bravo for accepting the inconvenience of actually leaving and making the statement.

In aggregate, it changes things from the bottom up.

Name and shame

Using the term nationalism like it's a good thing. Holy shit Batman.

Note how there is a piece highlighted on the cover against Notre Dame, a Catholic university. It isn’t simply being Christian that these people want.

I hate the break it do y'all but doctors and specialists are some of the most ignorant motherfuckers you'll ever meet, outside their field that is. Same goes for nurses...

Doesn't mean they ain't nice people that id trust my life to, I just wouldn't listen to them for anything outside of the field they are in.

So you mean your former doctor. Good. Fuck that wackadoo bastard.

"It's just an opinion piece."

Sure, bud. The magazine exists to advocate theocracy.

Yeah, you are GUARANTEED not to get the best quality care at a doctor that believes in Christian Nationalism. It's not the 50's anymore, but they are trying to bring us back.

Good call. I applaud your courage confronting them about this and applaud you even more for having the conviction to drop them over it. It is extremely unprofessional allowing religion in the workplace to that degree, and "unprofessional" sure as hell isn't something you want in your doctor.

Ooh ooh! Story time!

I have several severe mental illnesses. So of course I'm in therapy. My therapist sends me up to psychiatric help who tells me my cannabis use is ok, but only as long as it is actually helping mental health. My therapist did not like that. She gave me literal DARE propaganda to review. My wife was luckily with me when this happened. The printout was dated back to 2002. I told her that all the information in that packet (several pages) was outdated, factually incorrect, and literally propaganda for the war on drugs. We never went back to her. I spent time without a therapist until I found one that is actually helping me and doesn't judge me based on one of several medications for my mental health.

Remember kids, your mental health is important

I fully support stupid business owners wearing their shitty politics on their sleeve. Cuts their business in half and virtually ensures they'll fail.

When I moved to the rural South I discovered half the businesses have crosses in their logos or big bible verses on the building's outer walls, and yes, doctors had Christian shit in waiting rooms. Well, sure as shit, it meant they were the ones who would cut a corner and mark up a bill at the end. Shake your hand and call you their brother. Just avoid, just get up and leave and stop going to that place. It's a warning sign every time, and every time I wish I'd have listened to my gut when I do go in.

I worked with physicians on an almost daily basis during my hospital IT career. Believe me when I say this is NOT an unusual thing. Some of the most whacked out RWNJs I've known were MDs. It should scare you shitless.

I had a similar experience at a Chiropractor. They had the automated massage bed, which was way cheaper than going to a medical massage office on my insurance.

But I was reading thier quack information slideshow on one of the TVs, but they kept quoting some dude. I looked him up and he was an out and proud neo-nazi.

So I left in middle of my appointment and never returned any calls and left a review on google. Google took my review down.

get a new doctor ASAP. Red fucking flag.

In my experience, doctors for me have been either blue hair free healthcare for all progressives or George Bush republicans with no in between.

I was at a walk in clinic and perusing their pamphlets when I noticed some that were in a different style than the rest. They were by Focus on the Family and included anti-abortion and anti-LGBT propaganda. I scoffed, collected them all out of the wall holder thing, and threw them in the trash -- the receptionist gave me a weird look.

A few minutes later she comes out and pulls them out of the trash can. She skims a few, frowns, and takes them to the back. I never saw those pamphlets in that waitingroom again.

So at least in this case it seems like it was one asshole (that possibly didn't work there) put them out. Good call on questioning them about it.

You should report this to the state medical board. They take such reports seriously.

These people do not deserve respect and should be openly mocked as soon as you discover they are a Christian nationalist.

This has serious Obvious Plant vibes.

Many "advertise" their faith discretely, look for crosses or a tiny Jesus fish on their signage, business cards, building, etc.

I mean that's horrifying. How can you trust your care to someone who believes you should be exterminated or at the very least forcefully subjugated and converted?

Great job asking about it.
