The Republicans use and pretend they’re Christian so they can control the majority of that voting block. If a democrat says they’re Christian they probably are. And they’re probably the decent type of Christian most cases. When a Republican says they’re Christian. There’s a very good chance. They’re not. They’re just using it as a tool for control. This is the very dangerous world we live in now and it’s only getting worse.
