He constantly told people, "Don't judge others."
Over and over he advised them to "give what you have to the poor" and to "love your neighbor."
He warned his followers not to think they're better than anyone else (the Pharisee and the publican, the woman caught in adultery, his own disciples when they argued over which was best.)
To nations -- nations!-- he said,
"I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.” Then they will answer, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?” Then he will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.”
Matthew 25:31-46. http://bible.oremus.org/?ql=309781553
You can't be a modern-day Republican and make a credible claim that you follow Christ. But real progressives, including atheists, are already following him. And he would not care what religion or what belief system they do or don't have, because it's not about that.
He'd like Bernie, a Jew after his own heart!
