Read the wikipedia link. Free and subsidized lunch programs have been in place at a Federal level since 1946. They existed at a community level far before that into the 19th century. I can tell you from my own community that there are programs that extend beyond just this program as well when you factor in state-level support and charities.

No one said those programs don't exist. It was pointed out that people want them not to. They've been whining about "handouts" including school lunches for decades. Why are you distracting from that fact?

In that case it sounds like the less Christian America becomes the more people feel it's morally okay suspend programs that serve the underprivileged.

Yeah so? Christianity if practiced in a Christlike way would be fine. We don't need to relentlessly specify that today's Christians are full of shit. We're just calling them how they identify themselves

[–] Manmoth@lemmy.ml -3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Most "Christians" today are secularists which is why they are so morally pliable. There is no right or wrong in the post-modern world only rabid pursuit of self. This naturally has consequences. The less Christian the United States becomes the more this will increase.

Dude you're insane. Christianity is not even close to what's held morality together. In fact it's been used as an excuse to be horrifically shitty over and over. Crusades as one old example

Atheists /secularists do kind and selfless things all the time. And again, if Christians practice what they preach they're good for the world, mostly.

Christians are super prejudiced against poor and foreigners in the US.
