One user remarked, "Christian Judgementalism does not honor God," while another added, "Destroying ecosystems dishonors God."

Mary Elizabeth Hanch's bold stance has also drawn comparisons to broader societal issues. One commenter noted, "Those fascists celebrate the symbol, not the thing they profess belief in. It's like 45's recent comments on making laws against defacing the USA flag."

The post also resonated with those who appreciate a compassionate approach to religion.

Though I myself don't believe in God, I respect and support anyone whose beliefs compel them towards compassion for all people."
