I am reading Earthseed: Parable of the Talents, published in 1998. This passage is about the president, a man from Texas, who wants to take America back to that unknown time when everyone worshiped the one Christian God:

Jarret condemns the burnings, but does so in such mild language that his people are free to hear what they want to hear. As for the beatings, the tarring and feathering, and the destruction of “heathen houses of devil-worship,” he has a simple answer: “Join us! Our doors are open to every nationality, every race! Leave your sinful past behind, and become one of us. Help us to make America great again.”
