Yeah but right-wing business owners don’t want to get bogged down in annoying Jesus stuff like his love command. They’re too busy hating minority groups of all kinds, discriminating against them, and then saying “As a Christian I can’t do business with [insert minority group name here]. It goes against my religious beliefs.” The GOP justices on the Supreme Court are far more important to them than Jesus.
Everything old is eventually new again. For example - 100 years from now their spawn could be lynching people - Christians and non-Christians - for not accepting Jesus as god.
Tbf, traditionally, the church wasn’t going around doing polls or quizzes about what the congregation believed. For most of history, church services were conducted in Latin to illiterate audiences, while the theological debates they were executing people over were often about highly nuanced and esoteric topics. For the average lay person, it wasn’t expected that they understand everything, so long as they were willing to defer to whatever the church told them if they said something wrong. Some would say that this shows the church has always cared more about obedience and authority than teaching about the faith (I’m Some )
That said, “Jesus is God” is like, it’s basically right there in the name “Christianity.”

Wish they’d just skip to the part were they murder each other over disagreements about when and how often you should be baptized
