I think most humans are good, but misguided by the prospect of false hope of an afterlife. Unfortunately evolution does not produce offspring with adult critical thinking skills at birth. So regardless of party, liberal or conservative, and all religions have those aspects, most humans simply buy what their parents sell them at birth.
So if we are to, as a species foster a less violent world, it isn't that we should never challenge religion, we should. But we should always know the difference between the sale of inclusion and fear, power and greed, vs someone whom simply values inclusion, but does does not agree with us.
Even though she quoted Jesus, and yes, it does bother me, she did so with the intent to include, not exclude.
I hear what you're saying, and I'm not really so hung up on her being religious. I think it's a little cringey, but beyond that I don't care. I think AOC is an incredibly smart person, and it's awesome to have a person like her in our gov't.
I won't lie I used to have a bit of a crush on her... because intelligence and sexiness is just a next-level combination in my book... but the Jesus thing kinda killed my boyish crush for her
I think she is too.
