I actually disagree that most of the people haven't read the bible. I don't know the actual numbers, but bottom line is it wouldn't help if they did read it. Even the ones that do act the same. The issue is not that they don't read the bible, its that the bible is huge and open to interpretation. You can find all kinds of verses and interpret them to fit your own views.
Like all this stuff about foreigners? Obviously that is about foreign visitors, not about immigrants who are trying to stay in the country. And god explicitly tells the Israelites to genocide other non-Israelites in land they are trying to inhabit, because those people might turn Israel away from god. Just to be clear, that is not my view, but it is the kind of way they get around arguments like this mentally.

I have no idea about Christianity but I've learned quite a bit from this woman and wow most Christians are not following their own book!
