All politicians in the United States are overwhelmingly Christian. You know how many openly non-religious people there are in congress? Four. There’s 21 who do not disclose their religion. Left leaning politicians are more likely to be non-Christian but they are still overwhelmingly progressive Christians.
No, it doesn’t. I grew up in the Mississippi delta. We struggle with addiction, poverty, unemployment, homelessness, and more. Many in our communities identify as Christian, but don’t attend church. Many of them don’t vote either, they feel the entire system doesn’t hear them and it’s broken. Those are the marginalized voices that we need to speak to. The homophobic, and pro life Christians are in many cases the higher ups in our communities, who live on a high horse while turning a blind eye to
The idea that left leaning politicians are hostile to Christianity is overwhelmingly just something manufactured by the right. The right tries to claim all their politics are their religion, and therefore any attack on their politics is an attack on their religion. Like ffs, the right wing press is currently trying to claim Talarico of all people is anti-Christian.
There are certainly progressive people who are anti-Christianity. But those aren’t the people running for office. Because in this country, non-religious people are subject to a lot of bigotry and because of that openly non-religious people struggle to get elected unless they are in very progressive regions.
but you do realize that there’s Christian nationalists colluding with (or outwardly are) white supremacists? Christianity, like all forms of faith, is an amazing individual structure and tool, but there are some people that are trying (and arguably succeeding sadly) to forcibly overhaul governmental structures in favor of theocracy. like you have a valid point, but imo the violent zealots are far more harmful than anti-theists (at least based on world events)
