I have it on good authority that there are a lot of lifelong Christians who are absolutely heinous people.

Good people would be good with or without religion. But religion gives bad people excuses and opportunities.

Sheer numbers assures us that there are dastards among all walks.

But yes the Christian nationalist movement does seem to have high numbers glad to dispose of the rest of us and turn the US and its states into a one-party autocracy.

Curiously, Evangelist academics have warned this could really set back the acceptance of Christianity, who will be regarded for decades the way Nazis were in the late 20th century. (Shunned and sometimes hunted.)
