[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of them don't like the intolerance of social issues and the hypocrisy of some Religious leaders (Catholic priests, those Evangelicals caught in extra-marital affairs, etc)[/quote]

At least in this country, a lot of people, on both the right and the left, seem to buy into the idea that "real" religion = conservative and evangelical.  The fact that there are lots of liberal mainline Protestants/Jews/Catholics for example, is generally ignored (let alone Hindus, Buddhists, and other religions), and only a narrow slice of religion is recognized.  They are turned off by the intolerance, hypocrisy, cruelty, white supremacy, and right-wing politics that characterize the narrow slice of religion that's portrayed as legit.  So they reject religion entirely, because that's all they see religion do.  [/quote]

+1. The Protestant churches quietly running soup kitchens and coat drives don’t get press attention. Evangelicals stumping loudly next to Trump do. [/quote]

It's more like we see the Evangelicals stumping loudly next to Trump and the Protestant Churches being too quiet saying nothing about it.[/quote]

No, my Protestant church has been very vocal against Trump. The media just never reports on it, for whatever reason. [/quote]

Not just speaking out against rump, but calling out so called Christians who support him[/quote]
