3. It's the loudest, but US Evangelical Christianity is not the only interpretation of Christianity

For a different interpretation read slacktivist at patheos, bilgrimage.blogspot.com. or John Pavlovitz for Christians who believe that as Christian's they are to work to feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless--all set forth in the story of the separation of the sheep and the goats at the end of Matthew.

There is nothing there demanding adherence to 'right belief formulas' or anti-abortion or anti-homosexuality or anti-immigration or anti-evolution or anti-climate change. Or belief in white supremacy. All views that Evangelicals have made the definition of what it means to be a Christian. All that is considered there at the end of Matthew in evaluating a Christian's life are actions that improve the lives of individual people.
