I mean they always have been but there used to be many people on the left who were Christians and their faith influenced them into doing what was right, examples would be people like MLK or John Brown. Nowadays pretty much all Christians in America are Rightoids who worship Trump, huff gasoline, beat their wives, and fuck their cousins. I’m not a Christian and I never read the Bible but I know that it probably speaks more illy of the Rich than it does of Trans people and Mexicans. I feel like this probably has something to do with declining church attendance, because the smaller the group gets the more radical and louder it becomes.

It's fuckin weird, but I do think in general the bible seems to line up with general collectivist views than individualism which makes evangelical fascism basically reverse christianity
>>728146On top of that, most reasonable Christians/religious folk renegotiated the passages of scripture that contradict evolution; the problem is that liberal and literary interpretations of scripture have a more individual effect rather than a societal effect.
>>731356Liberal Christianity is self-selecting, it's doomed to die out because it doesn't lead to new converts. They aren't indoctrinating their kids so with each generation they become less religious and then finally non-religious.
Whereas religious fundamentalism perpetuates itself through rigorous childhood indoctrination and societal pressure. Obviously some kids will still reject it but a lot of them won't.
>>728044Because 99.99% of people are right wing that enjoy living in a right wing hellscape and so they recycled the religion to suit their own viewpoint
