“We have seen their best. Christianity still flourishes in spite of their best.”
Hmmm... you really mean “their worst”, don’t you?
As a Catholic I have encountered attitudes among certain self-described “evangelicals” (and I do not reject but rather encourage daily Bible study & reflection) that are straight out of the Ku Klux Klan handbook. So much so it’s laughable. Particularily their notion that the only true Christian martyrs are those who were persecuted by the Catholic Church and who have English surnames.
Oh, well.
Not from their perspective.

The list of qualifiers can grow to quite a length. :)
