Indeed. They prefer the brutal Old Testament God instead.

Which is funny because Biblical scholars have been pretty clear that the coming of Jesus wipes out all that stuff. It is called the New Covenant.

They would be really mad if they actually read the statements Jesus said about greed.

Nope. Phyllis Schlafly's son Andrew (Phyllis is the woman who more or less single handedly ensured the ERA didn't pass, persuading American women that somehow they didn't even want equality) ran (still runs maybe?) a web site where among other things he "re-translates" the Bible so that e.g. Jesus's preaching is "Properly" translated to mean whatever it is suits his worldview.

Religion is about believing things you have no evidence for, that's its whole thing.

There is a series on Disney+ about this, "Mrs America". Worth watching.

They hate the parts about loving their neighbors, being non violent, and favoring spiritual wealth over material wealth. All of those are anathema to current evangelical followers and christo-fascists that are strongly represented in MAGA

There is a funny thing happening among Trump supporters.

There is a bunch of people who ~5 years ago did not identify as evangelical (or even religious) but now do. They still do not attend church. Nobody is sure what it means.
