And every single one of these clashes is with very religious people. Not one hostile encounter involves a “pagan.” Not until the end, at least, when the Roman
troopers get hold of him—but he was handed over by the religious
establishment.
If you were reading the Gospels without bias or assumption, you
would have no trouble whatsoever coming to believe that religion is
the enemy—or in the hands of the enemy. Jesus’ opponents are all
people we would consider to be highly invested in doing religion
right. They certainly considered themselves to be so."
