I'm Christian. I like the Food Stamp Program, defend Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. I grew up talking politics with my parents and grandparents, Depression survivors and felt an awesome reverence for Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal. Social Security let my great grandparents live out their lives decently comfortable. The GI bill paved the way for my family's ascent into the middle class.
I still know folks who are poor through causes other than laziness and believe in a government sponsored social safety net. Certainly regulators can be unreasonable, but I believe the government has a role in keeping our air and water decently clean ... and I know there are still businessmen who put profits ahead of safety and the public good.
