There aren't many good christians left. A lot of churches in socal today have metal gates over their front steps to prevent anyone from sheltering on them. Growing up, I figured big city churches always opened their doors and pews for people to sleep, but apparently that was a trope from hollywood and not what many churches today at least do for their local community.

There's a church in my area that has some signs and banners about welcoming all people, but also has a "no trespassing" sign. I approached the clergy of the church about it, and they tell me that the police requires the no trepassing sign, or else the police won't respond to incidents. I hate that dissonance.
Most Christian churches in America are elitist, hermetically-sealed cults. They come together one day a week to celebrate how superior and self-righteous they are, while stepping over homeless people and looking down on them the other 6 days and 22 hours of the week.
