When they demand Christianity? Demand the government abide by the teachings of Jesus, and offer Matthew 25: 41 - 46 for starters..
It's fun to discuss socialism with a MAGA Christian, by saying the government should help the sick, the poor, the elderly and the immigrant. Then, when they say the government should not, then you say "I was just quoting Jesus". oops..
But seriously, if you can get into a "We need Christianity in government" discussion with one of those yahoos, Start quoting Jesus without attributing. Then reveal your source and watch them step on their weenies..
