I've seen a lot of conservative (the American Republican model) Christians but I have also seen what I consider to be "true" Christians, with a strong faith and love for everyone, and part of that faith often involves confronting reality, thinking about solutions to problems, helping the poor and weak. I agree with you that it's not all black and white. A lot of Christians don't believe in the literal text of the Bible for its supernatural claims, but instead they read it (and other religious texts, there are a lot of religious people who do some multi-track drifting) for its morals and guiding principles, which can all be interpreted in different ways, and there is a lot of discourse in religious circles about the meaning and morals of texts, about finding ancient wisdom or reinterpreting old texts to better suit modern standards. It can be a very research intensive way of life to be religious and have faith. I'd argue that if you have any principles at all that you stick to, that counts as faith.

well you might just slowly brush away your enamel
I just meant some big name brand toothpastes being very abrasive to (imo) a point of detriment

Last year I learned from independent consumer product testing agencies that at least here in germany the best dental care is provided using the most basic and cheap toothpaste from discounter chains, so now I use those. So much cheaper, so much more toothpaste in the tube and actually doesn't secretly fuck your teeth up.
A measurement from the human rights campaign (hrc.org) it looks like. I assume it's a survey where lgbtq+ employees are kindly encouraged to answer "correctly" or they get mystery fired, but maybe the office jobs at Tesla were genuinely pretty good before elon came out as a nazi, who knows
EDIT: https://www.hrc.org/resources/corporations/tesla-inc. here are the current ratings, 55/100
I don't think you need to be so black and white. you can pick and choose what goes into your faith, and still remain 95% christian. I guess to me the label just doesn't matter very much. also if the Pope claims that to accept all faith is christian, then that is very much what Catholic Christianity is. the Pope also plays a guiding and interpreting role, and you can choose to go with his interpretation or not.
