42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,
43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
Reminder that at one point in time in the US, there were actually Chistian (proto) socialists and abolitionists, not all these rabid and hateful, death cultist, supply-side Jesusfreaks.
(There were of course a lot of rather hateful Christians as well, but at least some of them used to seem to actually mean well)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him shall have basic human rights

The pledge of allegiance was even written by a Christian socialist of some sort
