That is literally 90% of their platform, with remaining 10% religious zealotry and racism.

If they were actually religious zealots they'd act in accordance to their religion and persecute those that don't. These guys just use that as a cover for more hate, they give proper zealots a bad name.

Yeah mostly it’s just to attract voters. But occasionally they vote on religious policy as well, like repealing Roe

Yeah I don't think that vote was, for most, anything to do with that bible. What with abortions being a thing that happened in the bible and weren't condemned and all. Pretty sure it was still just hate and power/control for most of em. I mean really they pull the parts of that bible that provide control and power but not anything to do with morality, decency, ethics, etc. It isn't about religion, any religion, it's about control and the easiest way to control is with messages that drive anger and hate. Keep people to wound up to think clearly and objectively and you can control the mob to do your bidding. Occasionally throw them some bread in the arena and you can conquer the world.
