"It's not 'class warfare,' it's Christianity."

"Christian" doesn't mean what the far-right fundamentalist capitalists say it does. Susan B. Thistlethwaite explains why in a short and straightforward article. It's not news, but it bears repeating.

The Kingdom of God is not of this world. There is no Christian country on Earth to which we might emigrate, nor has there ever been.

My kingdom is not of this world.

What bothers me is that people don't know who and what a Christian is. By thinking that a Christian is a member or a particular country or race or social group, they lose the option to personally be transformed by the words and life and spirit of Jesus Christ. When people think they are Christians and still suffer in darkness, who is then going to save them?

I think we agree.

The transformation of which you speak is not as common as the term Christian, so we are often poor message-bearers.

On your last sentence... "We are not blind, surely?"
