How a new Christian right is changing US politics - BBC News

These Christian Nationalists are scary anti Americans.

He's literally demonizing people. Here's a great worker for the enemy.

God is KING OF kings AMERICA IS DOING THE RIGHT THING BY BRINGING GOD BACK IN POLITICS AND SCHOOLS. Take God out from your school and country and that school and country will become hell.
All those against America bring God back into politics are anti God and anti Christ period.
America Keep it up, In God We Trust.

I’m a Texan . I don’t agree with these so called preachers

A Christian can’t support a sex predator like Trump. These are Trump cultists. Trump cult is the biggest threat Christians face in America.

What happened to freedom of religion?

Remove Ungodly Trump. He lies so much he works for Satan. Making a pact with the devil, is not christlike or Godly.

De Santis only would be closest to God.

God and politics needs to be separated.

GOD and Politics don't go together ! Real Christian ✝️ are to pray for people in charge of governing that they will do job remember give what belongs to Caesar , and give what belongs to GOD ! Worship HIM with all your might cause you can not serve two masters!!!!!! So stop proclaiming that trump is GOD sent , because he is not and stop listening to those crazy pastors, do your own reading and research of the Bible.

Religion poisons everything!
- Christopher Hitchens

What he feels enough said

As a Canadian I can't help but notice that many or all of these people are Caucasian. Is that one of the rules? Does a person have to be caucasian to be a member of this evangelical movement?

The recent evangelical movement in the United States has undeniably played a significant role in shaping political landscapes. While it's important to recognize the diversity within this community, some evangelical fundamentalists have indeed been vocal in their influence on policies and political agendas. It's crucial to approach this influence with a nuanced perspective, acknowledging that interpretations of religious texts can vary widely. Critics argue that certain evangelical leaders may selectively emphasize aspects of the Bible that align with their political objectives, potentially leading to a narrow and exclusionary approach to governance. The historical context where political figures like King James may have influenced translations, adds another layer to the complexity of understanding how religious texts are interpreted and applied in contemporary politics. As with any religious or ideological movement, it's essential to engage in open dialogue and promote a diverse range of perspectives to foster a more inclusive and informed political discourse. Balancing religious freedom with the principles of a pluralistic society remains a challenge, and the impact of the evangelical movement on politics continues to be a subject of debate and analysis.

KKKRISTIANS 🙄

yikes

These modern Judeo-Christians are simply Zionists mocking Jesus Christ!✝☦✝

The "CHRISTian" Right has taken CHRIST out of CHRISTianity! They've replaced Jesus with the very ANTITHESIS of the Jesus they supposedly follow! They worship the most blatantly EVIL man and have sold their souls gor 30 pieces of silver! So sad...😢

Nothing but heretic doctrine, and an undercover movement to promote racism.
"Read your bibles , and pray, fast ,and allow god to lead you to all truth ,Not a republican party .

Tax these self-righteous religious churches ⛪️

Anytime I see someone calling themselves a “patriot” I immediately know what they truly stand for and this is it.

Pay taxes then.

Prayer is a fancy term for talking to yourself.

The church can be ‘spiritual’ or it can be political. It can’t be both. The idea that conservatism is part of Christian faith is emblematic. Jesus said pay your taxes, care for the marginalized, care for the refugee. He didn’t mention abortion or homosexuality, ever. The church today puts words in the mouth of Jesus. And they ignore what he said, such as feed the hungry, visit the prisoner, care for the sick. The Christian nationalists line up behind characters like trump who assault women and brag, insult veterans, mock the handicapped, threaten gays. They have gained political power but forfeited their right to give spiritual guidance. I did not let the church door hit me in the a$$ as I left.

Religious nut jobs

As a European, from Portugal, I pride myself in the ecumenical celebrations we have yearly with bishops, rabis, imans and other religious leaders, in a display of tolerance and acceptance in the community and the wider country.
This is something which is not flashy or loud, but it really makes a difference. Looking at the US from Europe, this is really, really strange. And by the way, I was a senior high school foreign exchange student so I really hope the US overcomes these divisions.

I was raised atheist, so to see people acting like fools over a fairy tale freaks me out.

This is your brain on religion. Religions make people stupid.

No other books to study when it comes to Israel. Only the gospel, the KJV Holy Bible.
Anything is, nada, zero, zip when it comes to truth!
Repent, love and obey the Lord Jesus Christ!,..,

I read somewhere (it was either Kimberley Blaker's The Fundamentals of Extremism:The Christian Right in America or Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion) about how American conservative evangelical christians put their trust in Ronald Reagan during his run for the presidency because of his policy platform which would include biblically-based legislation, but were disappointed & angry when he didn't. What did they expect from a divorced, nonchurch-going, B-grade actor? Then, a leader from one of the many far right-wing, ultra-conservative think tanks told them that, if you want a president who espouses your values, start at the grass roots level i.e. school boards, local government, state elections.

This is everything that Jesus taught against. Using his image to buy shirts, trinkets, etc. Donald Trump is what Jesus not to be. His cult followers just trying to make Trump like Jesus what is so sacrilegious. These are the people that sadly are pushing Americans away from Christianity.

Under Him😊❤

christ returns😊 and itll be a new world l ptl❤

Its one nation under God its not a christian one only its for all peoole to be able to worshio freely of ,all faiths.

Are you guys trying to redefine ‘fascism’ as something positive?

They aren't Christians. They are racist bigots hell-bent on murdering everyone that they don't like. They are no different than the Taliban in the Middle East. They're waiting for Trump to be in office and have him give them the green light to commit mass murder and declare him the sole dictator.

😂😂😂😂 this is wrong on so many levels 😂😂😂

But US is not oppressing Hindus, but India is opressing minority Christians

Christians in India are facing a lot difficulty due to attacks and oppressions from few groups supported by ruling majority.

Religion = Hate , Division , Pain and suffering.

I’m scared for the future of my country and I pray they remember the separation of church and state

Christian Nationalism is not of the Christ Consciousness. Jesus forgive them.

Trump is the AntiChrist. AMERICA is a nation that separation of church and state was so important IT WAS THE VERY FIRST AMMENDMENT

I'm in California. Most of my teachers were Jewish, and they taught me to respect other people's beliefs. "Christian" right wingers won't have that. They claim God was expelled from school because they want to coerce young people to obey their beliefs. But saving faith in God is voluntary, by faith, not by coercion. It is the "Christian" nationalists who are expelling God from public schools.

Church plus State equals Antichrist. This was predicted by the Bible, and God is not unprepared for it.

THE LEFT AND ALL THEY'RE INSANITY IS PURE EVIL...FJB & THE DEMON-RATS

To declare oneself as a "Christian Taliban" says everything about what the ultimate goal is!

I'm a Christian. "Patriot Church" is a contradiction in terms. I absolutely denounce and oppose the new alphabet soup nonsense, perversion, degeneracy, and the rabid anti-Christian, anti-religious sentiments on the so-called Left, which throws around terms like "bigot" and "racist" without any apparent comprehension of the meaning of those words. But these evangelicals are also profoundly confused and corrupted.

The lunatic fringes have taken over both political parties. It's increasingly hard to find a "lesser evil" in politics, which makes me want to stop voting altogether. My fear is that these false Christian Republicans will destroy democracy and America entirely through Project 2025 if people stop voting, though. We are truly between the devil and the deep blue sea now. The new Democratic party is essentially offering up a bacchanalian glorification of Satan and Satanism (which they now apparently believe is the only religion they can approve--seriously: just look up the news about the satanic shrines at capitol buildings if you think I'm exaggerating), along with some economic relief and medical sanity thrown in to...uh, "sweeten the pot," I guess. 😵‍💫🧐Meanwhile, the MAGA party can only offer up Trump, who I'm 99% sure is the Antichrist, and his proudly vicious hordes of Little Eichmanns, while giving lip service to some basic truths that I'm not sure they really care about, with a secure(r) southern border thrown in like a dangling carrot without any promises.

Given the choice between Satan and the Antichrist, is there really any right choice? I feel that decent Americans have been checkmated.

These people don't follow the teachings of Christ in any meaningful way.
They worship their own ego, lust for power, and bigoted inclinations, while bastardizing religion to coddle their own narcissism and excuse their hate. They scorn real Christians and they scorn Americans with morals, humility, and empathy.
