Have a great day, sir!
Your view of reality is not reality then.
Trump is the prime example.
A man clearly devoid of Morals. especially the type or morals that Evangelicals would espouse are important.
A man who has been a grifter his entire business life, defrauding students hungry for education, people looking to do charitable contributions and
now AGAIN, his voting base.
This is a man, no person who holds morals as foundational should support into the highest levels of powers simply because he is willing to barter things you value in exchange for a blind eye to all his abuses.
Time and again you like to posit that atheists are somehow more dangerous and susceptible to doing wrong as compared to religious folk as they do not have the moral voice of religion guiding them or to limit them.
Trump is the example that proves you wrong and why you need to stop saying that lie.
Religion and the morality of the bible does NOT in any way protect society from the religious people not only turning a blind eye to a despot but ultimately empowering that despot to subjugate us all. History shows us it makes them more likely to support such actions on mass.
As Trump demonstrated it makes it easier to obtain corrupt and immoral ends with a big and mostly unwavering base of support.
Target Qanon types and evangelicals as your #1/2 targets if you have an immoral, despotic desire for power, and as long as you are willing to offer them fruit they want (the apple on the tree) they will grab it, consequences be damned for them and all the rest of us.
