" Americans who leave their Christian faith behind tend to hold more liberal political views than those who were raised entirely without religion. This leftward ideological shift appears closely linked to how threatening these individuals perceive conservative Christian groups to be. The study was published in The Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics."
My observations of society from my experiences demonstrate the same thing.
Christians fall into 3 categories:
Overall, my opinion on Christianity has dropped and will not go back up until Christians drop their autism.
Christians are always going to be miserable if they understand that they have no place in the modern world (which is the truth but it is not understood by some Christians, especially women).
The Bible says we have no place in the world. We talk like we’re aware of that but complain when it’s self evident. Most Christians are some degree of hypocritical. I am probably not even in more than the 50th percentile for un-hypocrisy amongst Christians. I’m full of rage and hatred and I judge my fellow believers all the time for being annoying. The guy who led the men’s bible study thing I was a part of congratulated for my ‘Bible knowledge’, and I didn’t have the heart to tell him half of what I said that impressed him was just me regurgitating random insights I’d read in commentaries and online posts and such. A lot of my religious activity is me trying to justify all my hobbies and interests.
If we take culture to be a manifestation of Biology, then naturally Christianity was predestined to fragment with the influx of diverse genetic groups who have evolved distinct evolutionary strategies, and thus they must adapt Christianity to their biology in order for it to be maintainable as a social/spiritual practice.
A lot of modern leftism is descendant from Marxism, just as Marxism descends from Christian ideals of equality, worship of weakness over strength, reverence for the Outsider, etc. It is simply a more outdated form of social programming that they used prior to the introduction of modern media and The Press. Denial of observable biology is the essence of all brainwashing, thus anything telling you to reject the physical world and ethnic or sex based differences, etc, is false.
People also tend to fluctuate between extremes, when both options are corrupted. Take for example the outright Judeo-Masonic corruption of all the Christian churches. Children in the past naturally grow up and see the flaws, and when they look for an alternative, sure enough you find a Freemason starting Wiccanism and Neo-Paganism, Jews owning all the music and sub-cultural factions, and fueling all these options with their own brainwashing so that the children of the rebellious children will in turn rebel against their parents, and flee right back into the arms of the Christians in a never ending cycle of ignorance and hedonism, the same way the Two-Party system is used by Democracies to maintain the illusion of choice.
