In American politics today, religion has seemed to find its way into the conversation more than it's intended to. Somehow over the years the Republican party has hijacked the Christian faith, the most popular religion in American, and has used the religion when they see the need in order to fit their political ideology.

He was a man who believed we are all equal, should all take care of each other and that in the end you must be true to your heart.

Jesus never preached hate, didn't preached violence and knew what it took for people to come together.
