Christian nation?

Only 49% of millennials consider themselves Christians.  The share of American adults who identify as Christian has fallen by 12% in the last decade.

Look at what many Christians, especially the evangelicals who support Trump, have to offer.  Sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, hate instead of love.  They are the people who use religion as a business, who run the megachurches, who are more concerned with preventing abortions than with preventing immigrant kids from being caged and ripped from their parents’ arms.  The gospel they preach is far removed from the one in the Bible.

Many Christians, of course, aid the sick, provide for the homeless, protect immigrants, and try to live a life based on the Sermon on the Mount.  I know some personally.  I wish there were more.

The statistics are from Nicholas Kristof, “Less and Less A Christian Nation,”
