The same media that never tired of questioning Christian support for Trump now rejoices in the corruption of Christianity under Biden. Christians who supported Trump had sold their souls for political gain, the media told us. Reporters churned out endless stories browbeating Christians for giving hypocritical support to that “coarse” libertine. But “progressive Christians” receive no such lectures, even as they discard their faith for the sake of advancing Biden’s libertine politics.
Trump-supporting Christians at least had a religious motive for their choices. They saw Trump as a Constantine-like figure who would serve as a buffer against an increasingly aggressive secularist Left. That proved a prudent judgment. Trump was the most reliable defender of religious freedom since Ronald Reagan. But what is the religious motive for supporting Biden? There isn’t one. Much of his agenda is baldly un-Christian, and he has no intention of protecting religious freedom. The Christians who support him do so for purely political reasons. They prioritize left-wing politics over Christianity.

The media trumpets Biden’s faith without deeds while belittling Trump’s deeds without faith. He rarely attended church, hiss journalists. But Biden, they gush, is “religiously observant.”
...
The New York Times informs us that non-Christians love Biden’s brand of Christianity. Of course they do. It is as non-Christian as they are.

For the media, the only good Christian is a bad one. It praises Christian public leaders who deviate from their faith while condemning those who adhere to it. Biden is the media’s kind of Christian — rosary beads in one hand, a pen to sign executive orders in favor of abortion in the other.
