But later on history, Greece became a Christian nation and Italy became a Christian nation.
To be blunt, if a survey is done that suggests a nation is a Christian nation by a ratio of 4 to 5, based purely on answers to questions that suggest there are many 'church' buildings and loyal members in it, with lovely window dressings, attire, hymns, donations, coffers are full, well respected etc, of many different Christian groups. Does that really determine if it is truly Christian? I say definitely not, it is a deception of a grand scale.

We get back to the argument that is it the individual and their relationship with God and his Son, and maybe a small community/cells of the same believers that really matters, versus one who goes to a 'church' building where its authorities and teachings tell you, you are a surely a Christian because you abide by their doctrines and rules and they recognize you help the needy and donate a lot, and for some, always confess your faults to a man every week or fortnight.....etc.

Just saying, Bless you

Are Democrats Christian?

The question has become, "Should Christians even care or be involved in Politics"?

There is no question that Politics can change the Country. In America, elected officials are individuals and can vary "slightly" with their Party. Some Parties are more diverse than others.

In National Politics one has to agree with the National Party Platform if the wish to get verbal and economic support to help get elected. If you do not adhere to that Platform, the Party will starve you of funding, and allow you to languish and likely lose in the General Election.

One Party:

Demands that you must support Infanticide.
You must support LGBT-QRSTUVW+
Boos God at the Convention
Racism is central to their unity
Promoting secular humanism and atheism in education, and forcing the Public to fund it
Votes as a Block (so when you elect them, they will be no different than what the Party is)

You can vary a little on drug usage, but generally you must support recreational drug usage or you will be punished.

These are the Democrats.

So, to answer the initial question of "Are Democrats Christian?" one must ask if a Christian would support murdering babies, enthusiastically promoting Homosexuality and other sexual perversions, would be alright with Booing God at their Convention, being fine with policies that elevate minorities and intentionally hurts the White Majority, even making being born White as being "guilty" of some moral crime. You would be fine with taking you children to Church for 2 hours each week, and then sending them to a Brain-Washing Public "Education" for 35 hours a week. Knowing that whatever promises your Democrat politician said that they would do is meaningless, that they WILL vote the way the Democrat Party says that they will.… or else!

The other Party:

Tends to tepidly pray to God in the Convention
Is not united to squash Christianity and other religions in order to establish a Secular State
Voting is fickle, very little unity; voting as a Block is rare. (Your candidate may actually vote the way they said they would)
Capitalism, not Socialism, is central to their unity
Resistance to making Laws that allow vice

These are the Republicans.

As I see it, nothing within a loose Republican Platform is overtly "Christian". But, most importantly, there is nothing within the Republican Platform that is anti-Christian! The fickle nature and big tent of the Republican Party lacks any solid unity. You do not know for sure how your Candidate will vote. Those that have a track record may be fairly predictable. Will they promote Christianity? No, they will not. Will they be friendly to religious freedom and the right not to be a secular humanist? Most will! Will they try to avoid Class Warfare? Yes!

This is more than voting "for the lesser of two evils". One Party is determined to be Anti-Christian and fight the Gospel. The other is not in existence to promote Christianity or foster the worship of God; but it is not antagonistic to Christianity, and it is usually not an enemy.

"Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters." Matt. 12:30. Should Christians be salt and light and encourage positive values that they read in the Bible by voting against those that would seek to destroy God in society? Absolutely! Can a Christian be a Democrat and work against the cause of Christ? I have my conclusions...

"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?"
2 Cor. 6:14-15.

"In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one." Ephesians 6:16.

How wide spread is deception on the earth, in society ? almost 90%? 70%?
Lord God Almighty, if there are only 10% faithful , will You spare the world for their sake?

Perhaps a new question about Political involvement (voting) should be... Can a Christian neglect to stop Anti-Christianity if they can?

Jesus did not .
He rested in the Father, always depending on the Father, as Jesus Says and Teaches His people to DO.

His people don't even try to do what Jesus does not do either, per se.

We follow Jesus wherever He Goes, as His Word Says.
