It is some kind of error to believe just because somebody claims to be Christian that they're doing it for what you might think of as the right reasons, impulses and spirit. Many branches of churches or their leaders, some of their adherents, are more obviously in it for the look, the power over others and that includes money power, which has been going on for decades if not centuries. Do not attribute reason to these people; they are in the sway of false religious interpretation for highly personal and selfish reasons which they will never admit to; it's a kind of mask that supposedly gets you political and maybe personal approval for whatever it is you're doing. Behavior masking as some kind of acceptability. It is always behavior that gives everything away at least in the long run. They are not reasonable people so don't expect to have your own reasonableness satisfied in that assumption.
If you're flaunting your Christianity you're certainly not Christian.
And that's where it all came from anyway, the handy fact that is unhandy for so many people, Jews had been living this way and working it out already for the previous oh give or take 1,500 years ...

Like I said before I am more Christian than any of these crooks and I am Jewish.
I have a dear friend who told me 40 years ago (and reiterated it 2 years ago) "For an atheist, you are one of the most Christian people I know."
Exactly! This is my experience too. I have pretty strong opinions about the subject.
There was a time I spent visiting the Harvard campus when Greg Epstein was the Humanist chaplain there.
We can do a lot of good from the Back Row Ally House.

Exactly, the words of Jesus himself....
I know them well, only two I can think of are the real real.
