Buy me a coffee?
Enough is enough. My faith is under attack, and it is time to set the record straight. A movement today is dragging Christianity through the mud, turning it into something unrecognizable. Too many people cannot see the difference between genuine faith and cheap imitation. This post is my attempt to bring clarity, and if you have been quick to generalize, I invite you to read with an open mind.
Christianity is not complicated. Feed the hungry, care for the poor, love your neighbour, welcome the stranger, walk humbly with God. These are not suggestions, they are commands. Yet today, figures like Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk loudly push the Christian label while living in direct opposition to what Christ taught. And the growing wave of Christian Nationalism has twisted faith into something that looks less like the gospel of Jesus and more like a weapon for power.
Donald Trump’s Contradictions
Donald Trump claims to be a champion of Christians, but the policies he backs and the behaviour he displays could not be further from biblical teaching.
Against the poor: The Bible says whoever helps the poor lends to the Lord. Trump’s budgets cut Medicaid, food stamps, and affordable housing. Stripping help from the vulnerable while claiming Christ’s name is not faith, it is hypocrisy.
Against the stranger: The Old Testament and New are crystal clear: love the foreigner, welcome the stranger, show hospitality. Trump’s immigration policies tore families apart, caged children, and demonized asylum seekers. Calling people “invaders” is not Christian, it is cruelty dressed up as patriotism.
Against truth: Scripture says God hates a lying tongue. Trump has built his entire political identity on falsehoods, insults, and manipulation. Even holding up a Bible after clearing protesters with tear gas was not an act of reverence, it was theatre. A prop in his never-ending show.
Charlie Kirk’s Contradictions
Charlie Kirk has made himself the poster child for “Christian conservatism,” yet his words betray a heart that seeks division, not Christ.
Sowing division: God says He hates the one who stirs up strife. Kirk thrived on it. He spread lies about vaccines, slanders protesters, and fuelled conspiracy theories. None of this builds peace, it burns bridges.
Spreading racism: Paul declared in Galatians that there is no Jew or Gentile, no racial hierarchy in Christ. Yet Kirk promoted the poisonous “great replacement” theory and portrays white people as victims. That is not Christianity, it is racial fear-mongering.
“If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified’…”
~ Charlie Kirk, after a 2024 plane collision
Serving money: Jesus warned you cannot serve both God and money. Kirk flaunted his wealth, his luxury, and his connections. His gospel was capitalism with a cross pinned to it. True Christianity calls for generosity and humility, not boasting about how big your house is.
The Lie of Christian Nationalism
Behind Trump and Kirk is something bigger and more dangerous: Christian Nationalism. It waves a Bible in one hand and a flag in the other, claiming that faith and country are one. But this is not Christianity. It is idolatry.
Racism at its core: Christian Nationalism has always been comfortable with white supremacy. Yet the Bible says all people are made in God’s image and that there is no room for partiality. When faith is used to exclude rather than embrace, it ceases to be faith.
Hatred over love: Jesus said to love your enemies, but Christian Nationalists would rather curse them. They claim to defend Christian culture while trampling on the central Christian command: love your neighbour as yourself. They call themselves protectors of morality, yet their speech and actions drip with hatred.
Power over servanthood: Jesus rejected the kingdoms of this world, saying His kingdom was not of this world. Christian Nationalism obsesses over worldly power, using Christ’s name to win elections and crush opponents. That is not Christianity, it is a golden calf in patriotic colours.
You cannot treat fellow human beings like garbage and worship God at the same time.
A Final Word
The truth is plain. Trump, Kirk, and the Christian Nationalists do not reflect the gospel of Jesus Christ. They wield religion like a hammer, not a light. They chase money, power, and dominance while ignoring the hungry, the poor, and the broken.
Christianity is not about political theatre, not about flags and rallies, not about inflating egos or demonizing neighbours. It is about humility, love, and sacrifice. Faith is not proven by slogans but by fruit. And the fruit of Christian Nationalism is rotten.
Charlie Kirk did not deserve to die the way he did, for having an opinion. No one does. And if you have been celebrating his death, shame on you! But to proclaim him as a martyr or a Christian hero is pushing the envelope way too far.
Real Christianity does not ask, “How can I dominate?” It asks, “How can I serve?” That is the question Christ left us with. And it is the question Christian Nationalism refuses to answer.
With all of that said, you and I are not the ones who will be rendering the final judgement. God will.
May God bless you and provide guidance to those who use Christianity and religion for their own gains. I will pray for you to see the light… the true light.
Phew… time to breathe.
