What made you become a progressive Christian?

As much as it pains me to say there’s plenty of people who claim to be Christians but spew hateful lies. What made me a progressive Christian however? It had something to do with growing up and seeing the world. I grow up being taught to love thy neighbor, be good to others, and hold no hate. I grew up and I go through ups and downs. I get hate thrown at me and I learn more about myself. All this time I hold my morals of caring for others and find comfort in my religion. My religion helps me and I want to keep doing good and makes me want to make up for some of the pain caused by those who spew their hateful lies. I hope everyone has a good day and thanks for reading
