Their perception of god is different, doesn't mean they don't believe in the rightness of what they're doing. keep in mind that the vast majority of christian thought and scriptures support shit like slavery and women being little better off than the foreign slaves.

The only reason Jesus wasn't a white supremacist was that he wasn't white.

The Christians who happen to be good people are good people in spite of, not because of, their religion.

I don't think youre seeing the whole picture.

"Ancient control society does one none evil thing with that cintrol" is not a reason to forget or forgive the actions of the catholic Church against women, indigenous people and queer people over the centuries. Until the religion is overhauled to remove the bad parts, we can, must and should criticise it.

I also thing you overstate the influence the pope has over American Christians.

Evangelicals and other protestants are trained to view the pope as at best mistaken, at worst a literal agent of the devil.

Perhaps he might reach some, or some Catholics, but any Christian who comes to dislike hypocrisy or love truth will cease to be a Christian.
