Right. But your point is still not clear. With this last reply, you've made it to where it is quite clear that it is not okay to paint all US Christians with a broad brush because they clearly do not agree, majorly, on many policies (the reason this is so is because you've pointed out that Muslims vary in views). The infighting between Christians on public policy and religion is a well-known problem in the US and has been for over 200 years. It's part of our History.
Such as:
Anti-Mormon sentiments and hate crimes (which, along with Jews, was the only hate crime uptick in the 2017 hate crime report that was improperly represented)
Anti-Catholic sentiments - this one is a very big one and is probably the greatest source of religious based controversy in the US.
Anti-Biblical Literalists - obvious what this one is
Infighting between evangelicals
Fighting between evangelicals and all other Christian denominations - this one is probably the biggest issue. There is a new Netflix documentary that follows the secret Christian lobbyists that try to manipulate Capitol Hill. It's that bad.
So to point to all US Muslims, call them a minority, and pretend that "Christians" are a large cohesive majority, is just not correct. The most powerful 'religious' group in the US, right now, are atheists or the a-religious. Followed by the Christian Evangelicals. Some would say it is the Jews and they would be right but they get painted with too-broad a brush because there are a ton of secular Jews and get grouped in with the religion.
But the original idea being brought up is a good point to discuss. Some sects of Christians are okay with gay marriage. In fact, a majority are okay with gay marriage. That does not fit the original narrative put forth you indirectly hinted at, of course. Also, I can honestly state that a vast majority of Mormons support secular gay marriage but strongly oppose gay marriage in their churches and temples: the Pew Research does not include this distinction and it should.
