Not the person you ask, but Christians do have a habit of selectively applying scripture. Above all, right-wing Christians seem ill at ease with the bits about turning the other cheek, the good Samaritan, stewardship, greed, etc.
Ostentatious religious behavior (such as public devotion) while ignoring quite a bit of the core message of Christ comes across as shallow. The clearest case is Trump, who has possibly broken all 10 commandments, and commits 6 out of 7 cardinal sins.
Now, associating that with all right-wing Christians is probably a generalization, but this image is not helped by their leaders, and the complete lack of visible opposition against them.
