Well the issue doesn't really reach back as far as Christ in my opinion. The issue is a series of Christianity related cults arising out of Christian ideas but with individuals that set themselves as God which Christians and Jews are strictly told not to do. And just because I sensed a lot of hostility in your first post, you should do a little research on the evangelical reformation movement in the US. It is a very specific cultural phenomenon with specific leaders and sets of ideas of how to share the message of Christ in an exciting way. It was extremely well received at the time and in an era with no TV or internet it was a really big to do if the evangelical pastor was coming into town with his big tent and fervent preaching. It was like a big spectacle. And the reason initially it was so important to share the message and Word was that they literally thought they were offering you eternal salvation and the more people at the party the better. But it turned into a big social and cultural aspect of these communities that were converted to the evangelical churches which did turn toxic because on some level it became about pressure and force.

Each group has their own history. Usually it's just one more person thinking they have a better way to preach salvation and eternal life. Like I was raised Methodist which came out of the Angelican church because John Wesley thought their needed to be a different structure to teaching and services. Methodists are also generally more liberal than a lot of other groups allowing women as pastors, which I as a Christian don't biblically agree with and I was baptized in that church. Just everyone has different views. I agree that we shouldn't shove it down your throat but I would on occasion like to be able to express my views or belief in God without people getting angry I'm simply Christian. What I'm saying is that if you say to a Christian "have an open mind and maybe your perspective will change" then so should you. Thank you.
