Western Christianity was co-opted by the Roman state with predictable consequences. But it was already “founded”. There was no undoing the fact that core Christianity was “do no resist an evil person”, “turn the other cheek”, “love your enemy” etc. All features that are inconvenient to a would-be organiser of religious wars.
Sure, if you ignore the whole “anyone who doesn’t believe this deserves to and will be tortured for eternity” part, which is why it was so easy to co-opt in the first place.
“I love Jesus. I’ll help you meet him” -definitely a weird take
You know what Jesus would’ve loved? Guns!
I think this person is deeply confused.

Christianity was founded on violence, and has continued the tradition ever since.
