I don't know any true Christians who are MAGA or racists or even bigots. But with the commonly used definition that if someone says something is bad they automatically are seen as hating the people doing it many people arguing in communities like that would be called haters or bigots and possibly be banned here on lemmy.world. Even though most true Christians don't like MAGA and hardline rights they might feel the need to create communities like r/TrueChristian oad r/AskAChristian on exploding-heads.com or similar servers because they might think that their opinions are tolerated there. What do you think?

On the other hand, with more then 1 religion stating that 'all others go to hell when not believing in our god', you're going to have a lot of people. ;) But your right, that's my biggest objection about the middle east trilogy based religions, 'our religion is the only real one and we'll kill everybody that doesn't agree'. I'm glad that kill is replaced by convert for most but the extremist. Alas all extremist, either christian, muslim or jew, still seem to be very compelled to enforce their views to the rest of the world, with support of weapons.

I'm more of the 'live and let live' approach as well, which goes for all creatures. (ok, most, I still like some meat from time to time)

Truth, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. People should accept that others have other points of view that are also valid.

Exactly. Everyone should be free to worship their god, if they have one, in their homes and in their places of worship. But it should never go beyond that or you're basically trying to enforce your beliefs on everyone else.
