America has far more Christians.
The USA will throw everything away for Sodomy. I use a capital letter to spell "Sodomy" because it is the name of a religion.
God bless Uganda !
So do I.
I don’t know if they are true Christians or not.
Nobody asked you.
But did they ask you?
Not so sure about that. We have a huge drop of CINOs.
You’re probably right, sadly.
All Christian countries have always had that, including Uganda, look at the populations and not just in numbers.
