> Christianity has a bad reputation now because of Trump. I don't mean you, but it is somewhat comical that the side that hates Trump and Christianity, is also the side that gladly voted in a Catholic into the highest public office. Now granted, we can get into a discussion about Biden's adherence to Catholic teaching and morality, but there is no denying that he is Catholic and Christian. Politics is very weird, especially when it mixes with religion.

> the side that hates Trump and Christianity I'm not sure why you'd think any significant number of Americans hate Christianity. I think Christianity is incorrect, but I don't hate it. I also didn't gladly vote in Biden, and his Catholicism wasn't even a factor, his politics were simply the least objectionable option.
