A lot of anti social justice arguments by Christians essentially make the case that Christianity is completely ineffective in the real world.
If a country where 65-70% of people identify as Christian can be as racist, nationalist, sexist, violent, hateful, etc as the US is, then Christianity cannot possibly be effective at changing anything bigger than an individual temperament--but usually not even that.
Their excuse is to just say, "well, they're cultural/fake/wrong Christians" but that doesn't solve the problem.
If that's true, their groups, at least, should be more loving, more caring, less exclusive. But they aren't. They should be changing the world. But they don't.

All the evangelical talk about changing the world one person at a time isn't even borne out by their actions. They need the presidency. They need laws. They need gays and atheists and others to be legally marginalized so society will get back to God. They're terrified otherwise.
Give me justice. Give me liberation. Give me love. Give me a faith that says God's hands are our hands. A faith that isn't waiting on Republicans to amass enough power so it can work. Give me a faith that breaks chains and fights death on its own turf and wins.
If Christianity can't look like that in action, I don't want it.
