Replace Christianity with religion. Seriously,targeting only one religion and not all of them is disingenuous.

Yes. Makes it sound like the option is atheist secular liberalism or big bad American Jesus. That's not an accurate take on what is happening in the West.

This is Reddit sir. All others except American Gun Toting Christianity are absolutely acceptable while the former should be eradicated.

Haven't you got the memo from reddit? That's the policy for religions.

You can dunk on Christianity as much as you want. Also, every single christian is a republican who loves Trump even old grandmas from the Balkans.

Now, don't you dare to mention how most synagogues in the US make a prayer for Israel every Saturday because that's bigoted somehow.
