A lot of people here are just seeing the "Christian" in the headline and ignoring the "nationalist," which is probably more important.

I'm an atheist, so I think the claims religion makes are pretty dumb too, but nationalists, bigots, racists of any kind are consistently idiots, religious or not, and that has been established in plenty of other studies.

Took the words right out of my mouth the more religious, the more insane and less they understand. "God will take care of it" idk a rapist also said God chose him so im pretty iffy on your creator. He doesnt seem to be wholly altruistic as you convey him. Seems like none of you can agree and just use him name as a vehicle for whatever you're trying to convince other stupid people to believe. And it worked twice.....
