i understand the orig poster's intent in stimulating a discussion, but disagree w/ many assumptions.

much of "christianity" is borrowed from indo-european tribal societies eventually subsumed by xianity, @ least from the historical perspective of those that, looking from the outside/in, see little bearing on xian dogma from the (supposed) teachings of the biblical "jesus".

there is a very strong school of thought that suspects no such person actually existed, and that the figurehead of xian theology was a borrowing from other extant fertility cults.

we may very well owe as much to "mithra" as "jesus", as far as cultural heritage goes.

a strong atheist, i do agree w/ subsequent postings by orig poster that Christians shd NOT be disenfranchised by our party based on their faith; some Christian individuals most def belong w/us.
