Christianity has become a political tool now. It's a bit similar to how America feared and still does not allow members of communist party to become US citizens [1].
On the power of evangelical christianity, just look at some parts of central America, where there has been a strong conversion to evangelical Christianity. So strong that, is considered one of the reasons Hounders and Guatemala voted along with Trump administration on UN Jerusalem resolution. [2], [3]

- creep 9y agoChristianity has always been a political tool. I'm not saying that religion in general is incorrect or that it cannot exist outside of political use in a genuine way-- only that Christianity in particular has always been used in that way.
- salimmadjd 9y agoYou're absolutely correct. What I meant to say, it is now a western and particularly more so has become an American political tool.
