In terms of political ideologies, who cannot be a Christian?
I'm pretty sure each one of those categories have had Christians in their ranks.In terms of political ideologies, who cannot be a Christian?

They can be Christian but they aren't "true" Christians.:roll:
Or so the argument goes.
Perhaps. But the nature of my question is that I have seen people hold the idea that a liberal cannot be a Christian due to their stance on abortion, for example. I am curious about this sort of thinking.
I recommend not wasting your time.

Communist. Part of the Communist credo is atheism. You cannot be a Christian and an Atheist, because being a Christian assumes a belief in God.
Any can be a Christian, but the irony is that the champions of one of those - communism - is probably the ideology closest to what Jesus would espouse today.
He was ostracized by his fellow man, gave away all his possessions, lived meek, kept to a small crowd, and worked manual labor jobs. If that's not a communist...

You do realize there is such thing as Christian Communism?
Being a Christian does not mean that your beliefs regarding politics are automatically infallible or correct on all accounts. Christians are humans, and we can be wrong on political stances and change our political opinions. Having all knowing wisdom and the solutions to every political issue is not necessary.
I will say that I think there are some Christians who live deceived in order to hold certain beliefs, and others who are willfully ignorant of the Bible. However, I still believe that they are Christians. I know hardcore conservative Christians, socialist Christians, moderate Christians and others from many different political backgrounds and I believe that they are Christians in their faith.
That would be "communism" with a small "c." It's like the difference between "democratic" and "Democratic."
There isn't a difference even if you capitalize when it comes to a word that isn't meant to be capitalized. Unless someone is trying to emphasize importance or give a snide connotation like a 'tone'
