  1. You are absolutely right on being closer to Christianity than a right wing MAGA evangelical, but there's also a point here where Kyle is quite wrong. That involves the difference between the social-economics versus the politics. What Kyle and the Pope are talking about here is the social-economic side NOT the political side because Jesus was NEVER into the politics which is one of the reasons he ran foul of the Jewish leaders who thought the Messiah was coming to get rid of the Romans and put them in power. Surprisingly I found out through some study NEITHER Karl Marx nor Adam Smith (the father of capitalism) were that much into politics. That came later and mostly through other people. The oddest thing is the MAGA Evangelicals are actually just like the Jewish leaders who condemned Jesus and handed him over to the Romans to be executed. First and foremost they are looking for a POLITICAL SOLUTION through political power. Secondly they rely on people NOT knowing what Jesus actually said but instead feeding them a highly filtered version. This is why your statement about feeling closer to Christianity than anything the Right Wing MAGA evangelicals represent is totally understandable. MAGA people are politically motivated towards gaining power rather than socially or economically motivated towards making the world a better place for everyone. If you get the chance I'd recommend that you go read Matthew chapters 5 to 7 which is the Sermon on the Mount and you've probably heard a lot about anyway. Most people know its where Jesus says to be nice to people and if you're good you'll be blessed. WHAT MANY DON'T KNOW is what's in chapter 7. Matthew Chapter 7 is entirely about FALSE Christians and identifying them. This is WHY religious leaders for centuries suppressed reading the Bible and purposefully kept people illiterate. If people can't read for themselves they can't reason for themselves AND the last thing political people want are people who think for themselves. If you read further you'll find that's exactly what got Jesus into trouble. He was telling people what was actually written down VERSUS what they were being told and asked them to use their brains. This is why there's the famous line "The truth will set you free." That is actually a reference (in part) of getting free from the religiously orientated political powers.
