Ignoring that most of those example are just false dichotomies, what they claim to prioritize is contradictory. It's more like "If you are Christian, not killing children in the womb and also taking away school lunches from children if their parents can't afford to pay for them"

Life is a right; free lunch by definition is not. One is not up for debate; the other is.

Edit to reply: Even if that were true (which it is not, religious people give more to charity every year than atheists statistically); two wrongs do not make a right.

Sorry, what do you think happens to people who are not given food?

By definition of what? You're just saying words and claiming them to be true and undebatable. Regardless, these people are claiming to act upon the word of the Bible while ignoring the parts of taking care of the hungry and the poor.

Odd to mention Islam when the drive for the first two causes in the US is overwhelmingly from Christians.

Islam is strong opposition in both cases; with the recent "LGBTQ books in school" lawsuit at SCOTUS having Islamic parents in the plaintiffs. Let's not stereotype this as a purely Christian issue.

Islamic people also don't want to bake cakes for the LGBTQ crowd. They're with the Christian baker there.

This is may be true of many Muslims, though they should probably factor the possibility the current administration despises them as a demographic much more than it despises LGBT people into their decision making. In any case, views on Christian bakers don't seem to be a particularly good reason to endorse the behaviour of Trump or believe that international trade is a pissing contest, or mass incarceration without due process or many other things the current administration is far more interested in than SCOTUS lawsuits, and I don't think many of Trump's voters backed him out of adherence to Islam...

Please don't make generalizations based on religion or culture. Please also make an effort to follow the guidelines, in particular these ones:

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.

If you replace Islamic and "immigrant from Cuba" with Republican this also holds true

Not all supporters of a given political party agree on everything. They may simply align with the party on the topics that are most important to them, even if they disagree with other topics that are lower on their priority list.

It is disingenuous to suggest that any group of people unilaterally agree on a diverse collection of topics.
