I also see brainwashed. The conservative media is a well oiled machine of hate and vitriol.

Most of them are hard "Christians" so they're already gullible.

.... I don't see anything religious or moral about these idiots. They would take over any decent religious belief and twist it into something ugly for their own benefit. Basically a rehashing of all religious history when you think about it.

IMO if you can believe in a religion, you are a dangerous person. You quite literally believe in a fairy tale. Just as plausible santa claus exists. If you can suspend your critical thinking to that degree, what can't you believe? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think you've just discovered the GOP platform.

Let's not conflate religion and morality.

Wise words. Unfortunately, they are conflated all the time in this country. Cannot tell you how many times I've been told it's impossible to be moral without (their) god (meaning Jehovah/Yahweh/Allah). Also, this conversation often may end with a threat of violence - "if I didn't believe in [my] [g]od, I'd kill you for being an unbeliever in [my] [g]od, but because of the Ten Commandments and being such a good xtian, I won't!" kind of thing.
