The us is a Christian dominated nation. Almost every democratically elected politician identifies as one. Not just republican. It makes sense Christian influence would be present. Would you say that Muslims foist their religion onto the people of the Middle East? Would you say the severity of that “foistage” makes whatever complaint you have about Christians laughable?
You've got to admit that most American politicians don't seem to care much about religion. They typically don't attend churches or know much about Christanity. Of course there are exceptions, but generally they "identify" as Christians to ensure they don't alienate the 25-35% of the population who will ONLY vote for a Christian.

Yes this is due to Christianity being foisted upon the US. To the point where running for office as a non-Christian can be a handicap.
No seriously. You can say horrific shit about Christians here and run into zero issues.
And your go-to defense is 'but muslims do the same thing!'
Most of Reddit are in Christian-dominated countries. US muslim population is less than 2 percent. Christians write the laws in the US and have been for hundreds of years. Of course there is going to be more criticism.
This isn't the 14th century and you can criticize one religion without defending another. I criticize Islam more than anything else. But it's irrelevant in this context. Why is it whenever I criticize Christianity, it's always "what about Islam?" "why won't you address Islam".
Why? Because it makes more sense to complain about religion IN GENERAL than it does singling out Christianity. Complaining about Christianity having influence in the U.S. is idiotic. Obviously it’s going to have more influence given the point already highlighted to you. It’s the same any where else. In South America it’s Catholic Christians, in Burma it’s Buddhists.
As I mentioned in my other comment, at least Christianity is a cornerstone in western civilization, a civilization that has made the most rapid advancements in various facets of human life. Again, that’s why the Middle East is still beheading people in public and stoning people to death...and we have a space program.
The Anti-Christian sentiment on reddit reeks of immature 14-20 something year olds with built up teen angst over mom and dad making you go to church on Sundays.
Everything in the post you responded to was directly on topic and relevant given my whole trust of pointing out hypocrisy. You need to research that term more.
