I wish all politicians would totally fail the so-called “Christian test”, which is built on a foundation of (ick) faith.
Faith is the process by which you arrive at conclusions for which there is absolutely no evidence, and frequently lots of evidence to the contrary. It’s the root process behind not only religion (which even I, an atheist, admit is generally benign, if foolish) but also other fanaticisms and delusions (imperialism, racism, quackery, homeopathy, astrology, objectivism, ufology, conspiracy theories, climate-change denial, false accusations of ritual satanic child abuse, anti-vax movements, a host of superstitions, personality cults, jingoism, Chinese traditional “medicine”, feng shui, and the insidious brain parasite that leads people to endlessly obsess over anyone named Kardashian).
Faith is the real culprit here. Religion is just one of its many unfortunate consequences. The sooner we all recognize faith for the awful, horrible, misbegotten thing it is, instead of blindly singing its praises, the sooner we will have taken the next stage of our journey to becoming a sane society.
One difference I see is that Democrats are not trumpeting their Bible claims like the so-called Christians in the GOP. I remember when the GOP actually claimed to care about morality, character, and personal responsibility. Then they dove into the deep end of the kool-aid and embraced T-rump who has zero morality, zero character, and never takes personal responsibilty for anything. I cannot imagine Reagan Republicans supporting someone who has affairs with porn stars, cheats on his wives, and whose companies either file bankruptcy or are guilty of fraud. the GOP of today show zero fruit of the Holy Spirit.

I know more atheists that can pass the Christian test better than any Republican false Christian.

Is it “true/false, multiple choice, short answer, essay?” And judging by the actions of various political sponsors, it is possible to cheat.
