So, it may be time admit that our tolerance of Christian
fundamentalists is turning us into a nation of chumps. By claiming it
is they who are being persecuted, the Christian Taliban have cowed
mainstream Christians and secularists into silence, even as they
impose their own faith-based governance upon us.

May be time?

No, I'm commenting on the use of the words "may be time" in the
passage quoted. What follows those words in the passage above?
It is not "for faith-based governance."

Ah, I see. As in "It *may* be time to remove your hand from that bed of
coals."
