I very much understand religion and I’m surrounded by religious folks as a 52 year old Black guy growing up with religious parents and still living in the Bible Belt and I actually went to a private Christian mostly white school through elementary school.

I understand the difference between socially liberal Christian churches like the ones that were key to the civil rights movement and today are fightijg ICE.

My own wife is what I consider a very liberal Christian. She is a tither and she also is a dance fitness instructor and almost every male fitness I instructor in her organization is gay and she considers them friends and she is as far away from MAGA as possible. (I was a fitness instructor part time for over a decade myself in my younger years and I am well aware that all male instructors aren’t gay).

But the Black led mega churches also aren’t speaking up strongly about all of the things that clearly go up against the “RFC of Christianity” - adultery, bearing false witness, etc.
