They aren’t.
They are the best “Christian”s
One of Jesus’s teachings was about not showing off your faith just to be seen.
Something about not praying in public just so you can be seen and that instead you should go to your closet/room and pray in private where no one can see you.
The one’s following that rule are the ones you will never see but that will still be helping their neighbors, quietly and to no fanfare.
Very, very true. I have met many so-called “Christians” who are only interested in moral authority/power. They usually drive cars with a fish on them, or a bumper sticker with some cliche about god.
I worked with ONE person who was probably the most faithful Christian I’ve ever met. He didn’t talk about religion. He didn’t wear a cross (or if he did, it was on a chain beneath his shirt and tie). He never judged people. He was genuinely pleasant to everyone.
I think there’s a significant overlap in Christianity and Republican thinking because many people are okay with hypocrisy and disdain critical thinking.
