I don't believe God needs Christians to defend God.
Too often, Christianity becomes a battle: we have to defeat the other side, win the argument, take back the culture, or make sure our people are in control.
But that looks very different from Jesus.
Jesus had opportunities to seize power, and he refused. He had enemies, and he told his followers to love them. When violence was used against him, he didn't respond with more violence. Jesus showed us that God's way of changing the world isn't domination—it is self-giving love.
Christianity was never supposed to be about Christians gaining more power. Jesus showed us that it was always about laying down whatever power we have in order to bring life and love to others.
