[Disclaimer] - I am not an American and I consider myself atheist, I am Caucasian and born in a pre-dominantly Christian country.

Based on my limited knowledge of Christianity, it is all about social justice, compassion and peace.

And I was always wondering how come Republicans are perceiving themselves as devout Christians while the political party they support is openly opposing those virtues and if this doesn’t make them hypocrites?

For them the mortal enemy are the lefties who are all about social justice, helping the vulnerable and the not so fortunate and peace.

Christianity sounds to me a lot more like socialist utopia.

    Aren’t they (popular people) more or less forced to “have faith” or they’d lose lots of followers in the USA society? I mean talkshow multi millionaires aren’t known for having real Christian values…

    Edit: imagine a president candidate turning down “in god we trust”

      They are. An agnostic president would be unthinkable. Or just one that doesn’t proclaim his faith in public.
