baloney!
The Christian Church is the church that Constantine bought. There have been schismatics, such as the Cathards, who were massacred, and the Lutherans, who served German, rather than Roman ruling class interests, and the Church of England, that served Henry VIII's interests, not to mention the Wholely British Empire, against which our Founding Fathers secularly revolted.
The essential point is that the message of Jesus became essentially irrelevant at the point that he was officially deified by the Roman state. From then on, the Christian Church became a function of state control whose special mission was and is mind control.
PS: The trinitarians did their best to suppress the gnostics, some of whose written records have only, by luck, been recovered at Nag Hamadi during the 20th Century. Elaine Pagels has some interesting things to say about who they were and what they represented in the early Church.
Moore, OTOH, is right in the mainstream of Christianity. He is an honest and upright theocrat. What moore could you ask of a true believer?
