[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.
As a Christian (albeit not American), no clue. I think it’s mainly on single issue problems such as abortion or sexual immorality, to be honest.
Although it could also be a loud minority problem, where the actual Christians are less outspoken. Who knows.
Personally I think the single issue stuff is just a bonus to the actual connection. My opinion is that it’s entirely performative at the top, and the people at the bottom have been fooled.
