This is why church attendance in the US is plummeting, with the churches abandoning their morals and traditional values in favor of moar inclusion of post modern hedonism.
Continuing on this path will lead to further erosion of Christian church influence in western society as they have no faith to offer about anything and as they preach tolerance of everything, no matter how odious and unnatural.
There's another side where those that want to prove their devotion make up rules. The biggest excuse is so they can do nothing. They're being brave and devout by attending church and demanding people follow their stricter and stricter rules.
Those in church don't realize the same thing is happening in the political circles as well.
Sort of like how communists show poor people and say it would never happen like this in socialism.
But attending church and policing the lives of others doesn’t bring salvation. Christ commands us to serve those in need. But I do feel you aren’t doing someone a favor if you condone things just so you can have the right approval
It depends very much on both the church and the denomination, with Catholic churches generally being the worst. But churches usually reflect the local population more than anything, either wholesale, or with the population split between congregations.
For example, I have several churches in my town with values across the complete spectrum of today's politics. One always supports the current thing on their sign out front, with messages about Floyd, BLM, vaccines, Ukraine, and so on. Another referred to Biden as an example of a literal demon during service a few Sundays ago, and urged everyone to support the red wave. The first church is Methodist, and the second is Baptist, so denomination only tells you so much about a church and its congregation.

These people don’t want salvation, they want to subjugate others to their whims. It’s the reason I always say female subjugation fetish.

Catholic morality is set in stone. It doesn't change. What the catechism has to say on homosexuality is final.
