Christians were never tasked with building a government. If Matthew 25 is not criminalized then Christianity is not criminalized. Religious wars are a plague on our world. As for "consent," I mean obviously that is required for children. If Christians were baptizing children against parents' wishes, that is insane. Would you want your child baptized Hindu or Muslim or whatever without your consent? "The laws are intended to ensure that conversions are voluntary and not the result of coercion, undue influence, or fraudulent means. " Jesus did not go around causing trouble with the government or other religions. "Consent" is the foundation of the Old Testament law. Kidnapping was punishable by death. When you take a child who cannot make their own decisions, and convince them to disobey their parents, you are breaking the commandment to "honor your father and mother." Our "Christianity" is so far removed from Jesus, it's little wonder people struggle to function in hostile places. Martin Luther himself wanted the government to execute "blasphemers" which is what you are doing when you convert to Christianity. "but our religion is true!" Not a winning argument. If you want peace, then you need to advocate for peace among all religions. And leave the kids alone. When they're 18, they can make up their own minds. Serve your community. Speak out against injustice, poverty, exploitation, etc. Lift people out of poverty. Clean up the water. Clean up the trash.

Question: In the US the version of Christianity that is connected to nationalism is, at best, a neutered version of Christianity. I wonder if a similar gutting of "true Hinduism" happened when it was joined with political power. One notable difference I heard is that the Hindu nationalist are trying to force Hinduism on others. In the US it seem they just want power and hold up a bible while they are doing it.
