Biden and Christians on same side

Making the obvious point that seeing the world is utterly and completely black/white is a mistake.

The Christian right brings a Supreme Court case it actually deserves to win

Indeed, the best arguments for these plaintiffs’ position are strong enough that President Joe Biden’s administration filed a brief urging the Court to rule in their favor.

Why the Biden administration backed the plaintiffs in this case

Although there are plausible arguments that the three factors identified in Summum and Walker cut in either direction, the purpose of those factors is to determine who is actually expressing a particular message — the government or a private citizen. And, as the Biden administration argues in its brief, it’s tough to argue that the contested flagpole is really a place where Bostonians can learn about their government’s views.

Being on the same side in a single issue doesn't make him on the side of Christianity.

Given the extremely wide range of people who identify as Christian from about any perspective, I have no way of knowing what "on the side of Christianity" means to you or anyone else unless they clarify it.

I assume that the Christian litigants want to bolster
their constitutional position by encouraging flags from
other religions, eg, Islam, atheism, Buddhism.
That way, government wouldn't be favoring any one.

Neither are they: “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men … but when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your father who is unseen.” - Jesus Christ (Matthew 6:5-8)

Conservative fundamentalists believe they represent Christianity, despite embracing ideology that's antithetical to Christ's teachings and examples.
Which to my mind renders them antiChrists, by definition. It astounds me how they can hold attitudes totally contrary to what Jesus taught but think they are righteous and true Christians. It goes along with the GOP's political corruption.
