My problem isn't with Christianity as a religion. My problem is with Christianity as a political movement. As a political movement, it deserves to be attacked. As a political movement, it has stepped out into the public forum and is subject to the same criticisms and attacks as any other political movement.  You can't have it both ways. You can't be a religion and demand to be free from criticism, AND be a political movement which has entered into the public sphere.

Christians are the majority religion in the US. They shape huge swathes of political policy and control one entire political party.  The policies shaped by Christians are hugely detrimental and harmful to women, which is half the US population.  Furthermore, their stated religious beliefs -- compassion for the poor and weak -- are completely opposite to the political stances they take.  Anti-immigration is profoundly cruel, but the Christian controlled Republican party demands it, despite the injunction to aid the stranger and the foreigner.  The Republican policies on gun regulation result in the deaths of many children, despite the injunction that it would be better to hang a millstone around your neck than harm a child. The Republican policies on welfare and assistance does nothing to assist "the least of my brothers." You are revolting hypocrites.
