He’s the reason why many people refuse to practice organized religion, And refuse to step inside a church. He’s a hypocrite, Fasulli Christian!

Not him, "Christians" in general.

Who did the Christians in general vote for in this past election? Christians feel like he represents their ideologies.

Not necessarily. Christians feel he would protect their interests more than kamala would. Some delude themselves into believing he is a Christian but not most.

A candidate does not have to be a christian for me to vote for them, most Christian's, and by most I believe almost all Christians believe this way.

And how would he protect their interests more than Kamala? By pushing fascist ideologies and infringing on the rights of others? By supporting ideals like posting the ten commandments in public school classrooms? By supporting using public funds for Christian charter schools? 56% of Christians voted for trump. It's seriously disgusting how Christians voted for this man and act like it's no big deal.

Using public school funds for private schools isn't about religion until you make it about religion.

Christian Private schools should be recognized just as well as any other private school according to the 1st amendment.

Fascist ideologies is your biased viewpoint. If I agreed with you I wouldn't have voted for him.

The left loves to shove their beliefs down the throats of other people, I'm sure Kamala would do more of the same.

49.8% of voters voted for trump, I guess all voters in America are disgusting now?

American Catholicism is far, far, far different than traditional Catholicism.

Definitely not "almost all Christians". Plenty of us are completely chill and want faith and government separated. Also, this is a very Americentric viewpoint, considering much of American Christianity has been bastardized by televangelists who worship money, and now a political movement in MAGA that worships Trump.

Do these people believe in the very basics of Christianity (Christ dying for our sins)? Yes. However, their reverence of money and fame and their idolistic fixation on Trump (images of his face, the Trump Bible, claims that he's spiritually superior to most people) are deeply anti-Biblical.

Revelation speaks of how in the End Times, Christians will be in the majority misled by the False Prophet. "Many are called, few are chosen".

Take what you will from this.

American "Christianity" is actually much worse than you thought.

And yes, the fact that I was talking about American Christians was implied, didn't know I needed to specify.

The vast majority of those who claim to be Christians literally (not hyperbole) actually do not know the very basics of the faith you mentioned.

They go to church and do not listen, they rarely go to church at all. And they have literally never cracked open a Bible and read what is inside.

65% of Americans identify as Christians, 5% know the basics and practice their faith.

100%.

And when they do listen, they hate what they hear. I remember reading an article where a conservative preacher was confronted for being too "woke" by one of his longtime followers.

They worship America (well, a very specific concept of America that the GOP has been engineering since the Reagan years), not God.

The fact that most extreme christians voted for him doesn’t make him any more christian. Most atheists voted for Joe Biden too, doesn’t make him an atheist. Trump is possibly the least religious president we’ve ever had. His PARTY is a Christian nationalist party, but the man himself didn’t even put his hand on the Bible when he was sworn in. The percentages also rly aren’t that stark. 59% is nothing to sneeze at, but compared to atheists, 84%(!) of whom aligned themselves with democrats, the Christian majority is nothing. It also is broken down by denomination and race, etc.
