The unforgivable Obama sin was critiquing America, not theology

Evidence

Although white evangelicals and black Protestants shared similar views on a number of theological and moral issues, the black Protestant tradition was suffused with a prophetic theology that clashed with white evangelicals’ Christian nationalism. It’s worth remembering that for both Barack and Michelle Obama, their unforgivable sins—at least as far as conservative white evangelicals were concerned—involved their critique of America. — Kristin Kobes Du Mez, Jesus and John Wayne, 526
