If it were a few Christians I could agree. When it’s church policy - from the crusades to conquest of the Americas, Africa, Asia and the Middle East to kidnapping children and forcing them into residential schools - no, it’s not a few “lousy Christians.” When both Catholic and Protestant chaplains are common in militaries by agreement from the churches - as in WWII where soldiers on both the Allied and Nazi sides were told that God was OK with what they were doing - AND there’s virtually no contradiction or protest from the church during or since - no, it’s not a few "lousy Christians.
It’s mainstream Christianity. Small wonder that the candidates calling for the most violence against perceived enemies - not just in the US - are inevitably the ones pandering to the religious.
