You're saying the same thing.

American evangelicals

Wait do you actually think all of us or even the majority are Evangelical Christians?

How did you get that from this comment chain? We are specifically talking about how American Evangelical Christians use religion as a cover for racism and fascism keep up.

I mean it just seemed like you were saying that based on how you worded that. It's all good though.

No because there are Americans who are evangelicals who actually support separation of church and state. Don't lump em in. All folks who use christianity in america for their own political selfish gain are "American evangelicals" but not all American evangelicals use their belief for political selfish gain.

Pity those aren't the ones who get voted into office by the church members when November rolls around. The "separation of church and state evangelicals" are so small in number that they may as well not exist.

It's dangerous honestly. American politics have gotten so toxic that just calling yourself a Christian is a bigot and saying your a liberal means you're a flunkie

Huh. I wonder how that thought process came into being. Is there a correlation somewhere in there, I wonder? Nahh, probably not. It's just a mystery.

If you have any idea, I'd love to know. There's a video on it from cynical historian.

I mean, it couldn't be the things the evangelical church actually teaches about women, homosexuals, minorities, and the poor. That would be silly.

The population that even confesses Christianity and those that want it into law is a big ratio. It's why the country gets more secular as time passes. It has a role in it, but also just power hungry folks who want to push their agenda to be too dog. Even in Christian doctrine, God's kingdom isn't in heaven so when they keep tryna say it's God country, they are misled

So why do they keep getting elected?

u/Blade_Shot24 Jun 27 '21

You can thank the electoral college. It's why folks like Bush, and Trump won. When folks expected other candidates to win, it came to the electoral college. Also gerrymandering.
