1. Lots of people are Christian

Or Muslim, or Buddhist-- whatever. Billions of people in fact.

I'm not any of one, but I don't discount what people say because of their religion, unless they're mixing it with politics.

Many of the organizations fighting trafficking have a Christian base. I may not believe what they believe but at least they're getting off their asses and doing something about it.

For instance, It was Protestant women in the 1800's that helped first generation immigrant Chinese women out of sexual slavery.

We have homeless shelters and soup kitchens run by religious organizations.

If atheist liberals want to spit on that they're welcome to. I'll expect their hypocritical ass's out helping those in need post-haste, in the name of progressive values.
