If you support imposing your religion on the rest of us, and that's all you care about, then I suppose not. 

But then, why speak of a rationale, since your views are so irrational?

They impose their SJW values on me so I think fair is fair.

Jesus was a Social Justice Warrior. He opposed the corruption. hypocrisy, and inequity of His time. I could imagine Him coming back to see what people have done with His Ministry, and much of it isn't good.If you claim to be a Christian and still support Donald Trump, then you support someone that I best describe as someone of a wide variety of deep sins. You probably just saw how I saw a large number of televangelists. The Prosperity Gospel is a hideous fraud utterly inconsistent with Jesus' Teaching; I look at the Sermon on the Mount (which is the essence of Christianity, and you can throw out practically the rest of the New Testament as fluff) and see a message that the purpose of a Christian is to bring dignity to those in hardship.

Knocking down the tables of the money-changers and driving the cattle out of the Temple are clearly deeds of a Social Justice Warrior.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
