A huge proportion of church-going Christians in Aotearoa are not privileged Pākehā. There are many Māori, Pasifika, and other minority immigrants, as well as a majority of women. If you think of most Christians as Bible thumping Baptists, that&#39;s your stereotype at work. In the same way that most Muslims are not Arabs, and most Jews are not Israeli. 2026-01-30T01:44:17Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswuq0chdwq3zvvq3emaa8ae5jhs6wschsurfz837try2xp2am69wgzyzvpeat8mey0x5apsyq35mnkjwsefwll7vptjpktl4j2xrudssu3chu0dkc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswc6jpzya20qyqxtck9fm23urjr6r2c29sfd89l5ukmw6rn7nwwsqv5zguk'>nevent1q…zguk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m not defending anyone who is bigoted.
