You guys have "a Religion"?

American Christianity. It's like Christianity but cutting out all the stuff that Christ guy talked about.

Christ: When someone slaps you turn the other cheek.

Conservative Christians: Instructions unclear, passes stand your ground law and turns their cheek onto iron sights and starts blastin.

Basically they just expect anyone they abuse to turn the other cheek instead of following the example themselves...

So like anti-Christians? And him their antichrist?

jesus christ that bible guy was clueless. Its best to just go with baby jesus and leave out that hippie one.

American religion is the worship of money. Sometimes it takes the guise of Christianity but eschews any of the real lessons.

I know people have said "money," but if there's anything akin to "a Religion," it's American Fundamentalism, the weird amalgamation of white supremacy, conspiracy theories, Christian fundamentalism, apocalypticism, colonialism, constitutional originalism, and American nationalism.

It's festered beneath the surface for decades, and Trump was the first to seize upon the true believers and become their defacto demigod. He even has actual pastors revering him not just for his rhetoric but as an actual messiah figure.
