The outspoken fundies and the dominionists are definitely a minority. Yet overall a majority of U.S. citizens claim to be Xtian even if they seldom attend services or belong to a particular church. The good news is the percentage has dwindled considerably in recent years:
"Christianity is the most adhered to religion in the United States, with 65% of polled American adults identifying themselves as Christian in 2019.[1] This is down from 85% in 1990, lower than 81.6% in 2001,[2] and slightly lower than 78% in 2012.[3] "

If it bothers you, the money with the GOD message, I'll be glad to take it off your hands and donate it for you....
I'll give you a list of options
(P.S.. that "note" to the waitress?....
"This letter is too scripted to not be a hoax. I wouldn't be surprised if the writer of the article and the waitress cooked it up to get their 15 minutes. However, let us say for the sheer hell of it, someone did leave it for her...IT could be a democrat trying to get 15 more minutes of negative attention aimed at true Christians who would never write such tripe. I should know, I'm related to many. I was also a single mother who worked 2-3 jobs-sometimes simultaneously to make ends meet. raised 3 kids and went to school at night. I've never had Christians aim any negative commentary in my direction despite the fact that I had an ex husband who thought having a job was just not his cup of tea. I won't even begin to say what those same bibles say about people who don't provide for their families...Either way, it doesn't make Trump look bad (as if he needs help with that), both candidates are horrible, and if the purpose was to paint all Trump supporters in a negative light, all the author of this letter did was make himself/herself look like a damned fool/hypocrite if they do claim to be "Christian". EOD..."
Signed, T.T. 3 years ago....when it was posted....lol
Just something you might consider....the fake thing...
I think it is more of a knee-jerk response to a question. Their Parents went to a Methodist Church and they attended Bible Study a few times. So when asked, they automatically say 'Methodist' to the question.
If asked if they believe in a Man-God, they say 'No'. If asked if Jesus really walked on water, they smile and say 'No'. It's a typical response to a frivolous question.
