I think it’s somewhat common and in my experience it’s usually by someone who has been harmed, or seen harm carried out by specific forms of Christianity. In my conversations it’s always been a form associated with the alt right and the generation that likes to call everything satanic.
Horror movies, yoga, Harry Potter books, metal , rap, wearing all black, unnaturally dyed hair , sagging pants and so on are called “ appearance of evil or satanic.
It’s the same group that routinely supports anti social justice concepts. They want to ban gay marriage, they want to band women’s rights with what to do with their body, they want to reject peoples choices for what pronouns are used about them and generally say things like , “ I don’t want to bake them a cake because it’s a sin and I don’t support it”. They routinely are trying to undermine the freedoms of marginalized people.
It’s the same group that rejects science. They reject evolution, they reject geology, they reject this and that. They tend to oppose environmentalism. They tend to be the kind of people who responds to someone’s claim of being vegetarian that “ god have them to us to eat “.
So it’s a very toxic form of Christianity. So as I begin to ask questions , and provide alternative responses to them about more left winged progressive forms of Christianity the majority will calm down.
When they ask for evidence I say there is none, it’s faith, and i accept science and so on. They tend to relax. When they bring up specific terrible things like slavery, the slave Bible, the Salem witch trials, satanic panic of the 80s, I agree with them that all those things are disgusting. When they bring up “miraculous healings of cancer, or the dead coming back to life by just a touch , I agree it’s all phony.
TowRds the end of the discussions they are aware that we share far more in common than I do with those who belong to this toxic forms of Christianity.
