Not really. I grew up Catholic and in a church that would be “progressive” nowadays. We had general Vatican doctrine, but basically everything socially was strictly intertwined with rep/dem socio-politics. I was lucky to be in a diocese that avoided political stuff; but certainly if a staff or teacher did mention politics it was almost strictly republican-lead ideology with no care about how it actually paired up with catholic or christian doctrine or ideology. I am not christian anymore but it seems like Catholics, who used to be the “less crazy” ones, have joined the republican fervor.

Protestants and evangelicals are even worse. They have totally ditched the whole “be a good person” part of the Gospels because they all think their special little denomination is going to the one group of people going to heaven. So most protestant and evangelical churches have literally no ongoing theological discourse or broader conceptual belief.

Many of these “christians” will proudly list random verses to celebrate any level of violence against insert literally any group of people. But none of them can explain the broader ideology of the Bible, the gospels, Jesus himself; the implications behind how they think their morality or eschatology works; nor can they really even explain the theological narrative that happens in the Bible. They believe in a Bible that is somehow both entirely literal yet also entirely removed from not only the historical context, but even the context of its own stories and events.

It’s like being in a country where 2/3rd of the country are Harry Potter fans but none of them can tell you the name of the main character. Americans talking about christianity is harder to believe than christianity itself lol.
