Kids growing up today that choose Christianity by their own freewill are studying the apologetic arguements and are very familiar with Christian theology, and we should encourage that.

Glad you noticed this. There is so much doom and gloom that everything is lost these days. People don’t realize that people are responding to the plague of progressivism by going hardcore conservative Christian. It’s just like the Trump movement, but with religion. Conservative churches are swelling in numbers and attendees while progressive churches are closing left and right.

This is entirely external to what I said, but since you brought up political correctness let's go with it. Saying you can't be a Patriot if you're not Christian is exactly the same thing as saying you can't be a victim if you're not a minority. Tired old political correctness, it is devoid of thought. And Americans have a history of questioning modes of conclusion from which thought is absent. And yes, Christianity feels this sting of higher criticism. This is why we're not stuck in the dark ages like the middle east.
