- Christianity shouldn’t be used as a political cudgel; Jesus’ message of love and compassion clashes with the divisive, hateful tactics tied to MAGA.

- Holding politicians and public figures accountable for mixing faith with offensive or divisive actions is important, because hypocrisy undermines Christianity’s moral witness.
