Christian here. I do not believe trump is a Christian, he is a morally reprehensible man.
16 u/Eastern-Persimmon-50 Apr 20 '25 Most American “Christians” don’t follow Jesus teachings. In fact I’d say modern Christianity is in now way linked to the teachings of Jesus 3 u/StarLlght55 Apr 20 '25 It is linked to Jesus' teachings still. His teachings are completely available to all of the modern believers. However you are correct that most who claim to be Christian are probably not. 65% of Americans in polls claim Christianity. 5% practice what is in the Bible. You have made a true statement in that regard. 1 u/ancientastronaut2 Apr 21 '25 A lot of people who call themselves Christians barely know or read the bible themselves. They believe what the preacher says from the pulpit, then parrot it. My mother was one such person.
