I see a lot of LGBTQ folks bashing Christians, even though they are loved and accepted by many denominations.
I see a lot of atheists bashing Christians in horrific ways because they don't realize that their belief that there is no God is just as strong as the Christian belief that there is. "There is a God" and "There is no God" are both beliefs, and both sides claim to know the truth. And somehow, neither side seems willing to co-exist with the other side.
Few LGBTQ people and atheists want to address the FACT that nearly half of the Democratic Party is Christian. They support the LGBTQ community and they are pro-Choice, but they ARE Christian. And they get bashed here something terrible. And when I point it out, they get bashed some more.
Less than 30% of this country identifies as born-again. Less than 12% identifies as evangelical.
Be mad at one specific group of Christians. But recognize that a significant minority of Christians voted for Biden, including 90% of African Americans. And African Americans are one VERY religious group of people.
