Man, you had me until you went religious. I think -

1) those people have appropriated Christianity since at least King James, as Jesus and his ministry promoted socialism aka selling all of your belonging to fund social programs; 2) we need to stop distracting from the primary topic of wealth inequality / late stage capitalism. Slipping in jabs against capitalism just gives "those" people a leg to stand on and the ability to redirect the conversation.

If anything, we should force them to confront the hypocrisy of their political/economic policies when compared to their religion.
