May God have mercy on their souls.
How do you know none of them were Christian? You just came very close to implying they deserved it. You just came very close to implying that they had sinned by opposing Alt-Right White Nationalists. May I assume you didn't mean to do that? May I assume you didn't mean to interject your political beliefs into a prayer request?
We obviously don't know the religious status of the three deceased. Considering it was in Virginia, it is likely they were Christian. Two were police officers that died in a helicopter crash and one was a peaceful protester. The protestor had her past politics dug up and it appears she was a past Sanders supporter. I was a past Sanders supporter as well. While I understand a large number of Sander supporters were not Christian, I find it likely that the protestor was Christian, given her likely residency in Virginia. May they rest now in the presence of God.
