I think something that is missing here, perhaps because the OP is imagining that her Christianity is the median one, the normal one, is that modern Christianity comes in many flavors. Some of them are quite politicized and “in your face” not to mention in your schools and in your bed.
This is not just an Anerican phenomenon. Evangelical Christianity is a fast growing, world wide, phenomenon that rapidly converts people (even within Christianities) and often attempts to make illegal actions or relationships that are disfavored by their biblical lights.
Anti LGBTQ christianity is on the move in the US and in Africa where the death sentence for homosexuals has been suggested and attempted to be put into law.
In the IS it is evangelical christianity that has ended abortion rights and destroyed women’s healthcare. They are also coming for divorce.
I am not interested in insulting anyone’s faith. But I see no reason to give up sarcasm, comedy, or criticism when confronting an active foe of modernity, liberalism, snd feminism.
The pp’s complaining that their lovely peaceful relationship with god is misunderstood or needs protecting from Ricky Gervais or whoever makes fun of them are simply engaging in special pleading. Its basically “no true Scotsman” when they are asked to defend politicized christian social repression. Or in mn parlance “not my nigel.”
Well I wouldn’t walk up to a church lady and make fun of her to her face. But I see no reason not to make fun of various Christian representatives for their arrogance and contempt for my rights in the name of Jesus.
