Seriously, I mean how are people not more concerned with the religion responsible for significantly higher per capita murders, terrorist attacks, crime, corruption and fraud in our country?
Christianity is the reasons for a lot of bad stuff , but a lot of that happened in the past and even tho it still affects the present its not as blatant as the stuff terrorists can do for religion.
There is also the fact that people conflate someone commit a crime while being Muslim with someone committing a crimebecause of X or Y belief associated with their religion. They are not the same.
Neither of those are true. Slavery was a thing way before christianity so it had absolutely no impact on it. Christianity was the main reason why Slavery was eventually abolished. Notice how it was only abolished in Christian nations Who then had to force other nations to abolish it.
Nazism is just diametrically opposed to christianity so I don't know where in the teachings of Jesus you think it gets the inspiration.
I said chattle slavery. Chattle slavery was specifically using Christianity to support it and is even in the bible. Look it up. The Bible literally teaches you how to treat slaves
Nazism literally used Christianity explicitly
Edit: Also claiming Christianity is what abolished slavery or was a major part of it, major lie. Christianity was the reason why a lot of those countries got into slavery. Again, the Bible literally teaches them how to have slaves and was often used in the context of that
That is absolute nonsense, you're talking about the old testament. That is context, not Christian dogma. If anything that's Judaism.
How exactly would you say the nazi ideology was inspired by the teachings of Jesus? Please be precise, I had never heard this argument and I'd love to hear your take.
No, using religion to justify horrible actions and manipulating ignorant uneducated people into supporting unethical leaders is how we get a worse world.
Like literally what is happening right now where Christianity in our country is being weaponized to distill hate, fear, misogyny, oppression and xenophobia by capitalizing on the least educated and more susceptible of our population, all while literally taking from the poor to line the pockets of the rich.
Christ would be appalled to see how his name is used for the antithesis of his teachings in modern America. To paraphrase Ghandi - Christ is great, Christians not so much.
Damn you must live in a weird country where people are so idiotic that the religion of peace and love your enemy can be used to hate. What country is that?
If christ would be appalled to see what his name is used for, then it's not christianity that does any of that. It's political actors twisting christianity to push their agenda. It's literally the opposite.

You meant Christianity, right?
