When I say that many US white evangelicals and christofascists aren't really practicing a religion, this is what I mean.
They co-opted the symbols of christianity to justify and promote US racism.
If your true religion is US racism then you select the most powerful racist in the US as your "pope."

White hoods aren't (necessarily) racist.
It's that racists selected the white hoods as their uniform.🤷🏿♂️
Evangelicals aren't (necessarily) racist.
It's that racists selected evangelicism as their uniform.🤷🏿♂️
You can't understand religious views on reproductive rights in the US, without understanding US racism.
That's like trying to understand Spanish capirote hoods vs Klan hoods.
So if you're thinking of asking "I'm an evangelical! Are you suggesting that I'm racist?🤡" Please don't. That question misrepresents what is going on.
There are plenty of Black evangelical churches that are bedrock institutions of anti racism.
So it’s obviously not something inherent to evangelical Christianity.
The fact that it’s white evangelical Christianity that has such a long lasting problem with racism and misogyny tells the tale.
Or, in other words, exactly.
any religious org/community is a reflection of it's members. it's made up of human beings. some communities come together for positive reasons and goals, some for negative ones, united by their hatreds.
