On the contrary, those with true faith and an understanding of their religion are often leftists because they understand the importance of “love thy neighbor”. The political right has somehow stolen and bastardized religion, Christianity in particular, into a disgusting mockery of itself that has lost touch with its roots and core values, and a significant portion of American Christians have been indoctrinated into that without ever even knowing better.

I’m not religious myself and I often have particular issues with “the church” as an organization but I welcome you. I hope that your faith can continue to show you the righteous path forward. You show an understanding of the intention and values of your faith that is becoming sadly rarer as time goes on. Much of my, and many others’, general beef with religion is directly tied to its affiliation with the far right and the bastardization of what once may have been very sensible advice, into a blood cult of rage and hatred.

Spread love my friend. We as a human species need more people like you now more than ever before.
