How come Republicans are the most fervent Christians?
How come Republicans are the most fervent Christians?
[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.

They like that they can use Confession to clear their concious of all their crimes every week. As if it were a super hideout in Grand Theft Auto
Protip: Confessions were mainly to gather blackmail material against the most powerful. Its one of the ways the Catholic Church maintained power for so long.
Also it's only a Catholic thing.
