she has a valid objection imo in that Christianity is admittedly in bad shape in the West, directly mirrored in the State, and all manner of atrocities are currently being propagated in--even though most "Christians" would vehemently deny it--Jesus Name.
"Christian" has, long ago, become a religious appellation anyway, if the first argument does not sway you. I do not necessarily mean "bad," so much as when volunteers that they are "a Christian" what they are really saying is that they are religious, they go to a building on Sunday that they consider "church," they have carved a couple hours out of their bizzy week to give a nod to God, see, this person might quite readily call themselves "a Christian,"
so please try to understand even if it seems off to you that pinning a label on your lapel that says "Christian" is not going to get you into heaven anyway, i'm sure you would agree, and you are just hearing an obvious manifestation of Western Christianity--someone who has rejected the central idol completely on a historical basis, but accepts Christ on a spiritual basis, an obvious reaction to Jesus Cultism.
You are hearing the New Christian. I have largely gone the same direction myself, if not so far. Lots of others have too. 65 million souls have abandoned your churches, ok. Prolly more now. You are just seeing a rejection of Nehushtan worship, and imo it's about time.
