(11,489 posts)I guess my point is that I believe the vast majority of people in America support the most important 'Christian' values. That includes Christians (including Catholics/Mormons/etc who some 'christians' don't consider Christians), Jews, Muslims Buddhists, etc. And Bernie Sanders in my opinion, better promotes Christian (and Jewish and Muslim and atheist) values more than any other candidate.
Almost every Republican plays up their religion, exactly like Jesus told people not to. He told people to pray to god like a thief in the night, not running around bragging about how religious they were but to pray in secret when nobody else could hear.
Sorry if I got defensive, but I think there are a lot of people who think that because Bernie isn't 'Christian' it's a character flaw. I see now that wasn't your point and I think we really agree by and large. I guess what I was saying that for not being a 'christian' Bernie is more 'Christian' than any Donald Trump/Paul Ryan supporter I know.
