It’s not surprising that many people are leaving Christian churches when we see such bad examples of them in the media. Some Christians have extreme worldviews, and when they have positions of power such as the Speaker of the House, they become role models for the whole of Christianity. Yet these extremes aren’t the norm, and they turn people away from Christianity altogether. It’s important for all religious communities to have diverse views while remaining grounded in truth. Spewing only one perspective of the Bible—one of condemnation—turns off the many people who seek love and belonging.
