3. Real Christians?

I take issue with your analysis. It shows a lack of humility, a fair amount of judgement, and a limited theological perspective. Religion is about people seeking God, and, often, God seeking relationship with people. My Christian faith is inclusive and includes people from all political persuasions. I may be a political progressive and theological centrist, but that doesn't mean that my mother, a Christian conservative and political conservative, is not a real Christian. A Christian is a person who finds solace in finding Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior. While I may disagree with Christians who have a politically conservative world view, they are still Christians. Politics does not define faith; rather, faith transcends politics.
