    I think they’re “post-mask”. They’ve starting living mask off 24/7. They revel and rejoice in their awfulness. And I think for many American Christians (however devout) being a Christian is just a lifestyle brand. It allows them to be racist, hateful, misogynistic, homophobic, etc. And they have what they strongly believe is a perfect excuse. They just need to say use magic excuse words like: “As a Christian…”.

    • As a Christian I don’t believe gay people should be allowed to get married.

    • As a Christian I believe in traditional roles for men and women.

    • I believe in our Savior Jesus Christ so I don’t think Muslims kids should be in our public schools. We are a Christian nation.

    • I’d welcome a trans person to my church. As long as they detransitioned first. Love the sinner but hate the sin.

    • The Jews killed Jesus. It’s in the Bible. I try to forgive them but it’s hard.

    Off the top of my head I can’t think of an excuse for them to be racist to black people. But I’m sure they could google and copy stuff off the net for that situation or any situation.
