[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.

      I got a lot of these ideas from the What is Politics podcast/YouTube series. If you’d like to hear more like this, I highly recommend it. Kind of an odd presentation style, and I don’t agree with all of the takes but overall it’s very well researched and thought provoking. It’s not specifically about Christianity but the same forces are at play.
