I'm curious about how you arrive at the conclusion that "anyone who gives approval, 'tacit' or otherwise, to those people and their hatred, zealotry, intolerance, and prejudice are 'fake Christians'".

Why wouldn't "real" Christians approve? Christians disagree (sometimes violently) about a whole range of issues, resulting in hundreds of Christian denominations and sects.

You're not headed down the "Protestants (or Catholics) are the only 'real' Christians" path, I hope.

This all kind of begs the question "What makes a real Christian?"

You say that "'True Christians' do not participate in taking children from their parents because they come from another country, they don't vote for a man who lies and cheats - let alone brags about", but millions of evangelical Christians did just that.

And throughout this nation's history Christians have supported the genocide of indigenous peoples and theft of their land, slavery and the destruction of families of color and people of color continuing to this very day. Hell, Christians started and supported the Klan, and 40 million German Christians belonged to the Nazi party.

To me, this comes down to the two biggest problems I've observed with Christianity.

1. It's "secret sauce" doesn't work. The "in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit" when one "believes and receives" is supposed to start a transformative process, making Christians resemble their "heavenly Father" more and more as he works in their lives, testing and disciplining them.

But it doesn't. What I observe instead is Christians getting worse and worse and (as they approach the end of their lives) more and more afraid, angry, racist, hateful, strident, etc, i.e. less and less like their Savior and/or heavenly Father.

2. It has a branding issue. In the early Christian church, we're told that God himself sorted out "fake" Christians and dealt with them (e.g. Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5), but per the Apostle Paul, as the movement grew, this discipline became the responsibility of the church elders (e.g. I Corinthians 5, Hebrews 13, etc).

So, IF real Christians don't fire employees for not attending mandatory Bible study, where is the discipline of the church against these "fakes", i.e. where ARE the "real" Christians?

If I started selling brown, fizzy, sugar water and called it Coca Cola, I would be sued into the stone age by the end of the week. Are you telling me that God, the maker of heaven and earth, is unable to protect his Christian "brand" or to motivate his loving "children" to do so?

Or that (far more likely) this is all just more religious nonsense?
