There's nothing Christian about the Evangelical right: Blood stained bibles, racist revivalism and the Third Temple death cult
There’s something deeply unsettling about people who insist on pushing their Christianity down everyone’s throat like it’s some kind of moral panacea. The relentless need to 'save' others, as if we’re all just waiting for their superior brand of salvation, reeks of arrogance and control. This isn’t the British way. Yes we've had missionarys and Empire foisted Christianity on the poor sods we enslaved or colonised, but we moved on from this. Now we pride ourselves on being a nation that values tolerance and, more importantly, minding our own business when it comes to faith. Faith or no faith, you're welcome to have whatever beliefs you want, as long as you keep them to yourself. Freedom of religion and personal faith are enshrined in our laws. But lately, it feels like we’ve been infected by the self-righteous, moralising rhetoric of some God-bothering American circus show, where every other idiot is parading around in a desperate attempt to outdo each other with their piety. I've two words: Tony Blair. As for the US whatever the hell is going on over there with their obsession with religion, I’ll tell you this: it’s not the kind of nonsense we should be importing. It’s just another distraction from the real problems we should be addressing, and it’s about time we told these sanctimonious charlatans to take their Bible-thumping elsewhere.
And what in the name of Shatner do the Americans think they are doing? It's beyond obscene. Let's talk about the elephant in the room - the GOP Elephant, symbol of the Republican Party: medded up to the hilt on antipsychotics, high on meth, stampeding and trampling all it its path. Then telling us that '"God made me do it". By any honest reckoning, the modern Evangelical right is a grotesque parody of Christianity, a Frankenstein stitched together from slave-owners’ theology, Cold War paranoia, Reaganomics, and apocalyptic death wish fantasies. They preach love but vote hate. They claim Christ but serve capital. They talk about peace while jerking off to war. Let’s be brutally clear: there is nothing Christian about these people. Not in their values, not in their actions, not in their politics. They’ve hijacked a first-century Middle-East refugee’s teachings and turned them into a white nationalist manifesto, complete with oil billionaires, private jets, and prophecies of fire.
Southern Evangelicalism: Christianity Built on White Supremacy
The white Southern church has never been a neutral moral force, it was born from slavery and sustained by segregation. The Bible Belt’s theological foundations were written in blood and cotton. Southern preachers didn’t just tolerate slavery, they blessed it from the pulpit. They used the story of Ham’s curse to argue that Black people were divinely condemned to servitude (Douglas, The Black Christ, 1994). Even after abolition, the churches didn’t change. They just swapped whips for Jim Crow and gave the Klan a pew in the back. This wasn’t fringe Christianity. This was the Southern mainstream, and its racist legacy lives on in voter suppression, prison labour, and red-state Evangelicalism’s obsession with “law and order,” a dog whistle for state violence against Black people (ACLU, 2022).
Jesus, the Refugee They’d Deport
The Gospels paint a clear picture of Jesus: anti-rich, anti-war, radically inclusive. “Blessed are the poor” (Luke 6:20). “Sell your possessions and give to the poor” (Luke 12:33). He healed the sick for free. He fed the hungry. He welcomed the outsider. And what did he do when he saw profiteers exploiting faith? He flipped the fucking tables (Matthew 21:12). So how in God’s name did we get from there… to this? To Joel Osteen, hoarding millions in real estate and locking his megachurch doors during a hurricane. To Kenneth Copeland justifying his $54 million private jet by saying he couldn’t sit with "demons" in coach (Inside Edition, 2019). To Jerry Falwell Jr., head of Liberty University and Christian nationalism incarnate, caught on Instagram half-naked with a drink in hand while his wife was busy getting railed by the pool boy (Reuters, 2021). These men don’t serve God. They serve money, misogyny, and MAGA.
And let's be honest, if Jesus was teaching in the Middle-East today, with a large readical following, the US would give Israel bombs to take him and the Holy Family out and the IDF would shoot the disciples and bury them at the side of the road, calling anyone who questioned it an anti-Semite.
The Rise of the Theocratic Right
The modern Evangelical political machine didn’t rise to protect unborn babies,it rose to protect segregation. Historian Randall Balmer has shown that it wasn’t Roe v. Wade that galvanised the religious right, but the federal government threatening to revoke tax exemptions from all-white “Christian” schools (Balmer, Politico, 2014). Figures like Jerry Falwell Sr., Pat Robertson, and later Ralph Reed weaponised the pulpit into a political campaign. And when Ronald Reagan came knocking in 1980, they opened the gates. The result? A monstrous alliance of faith and free-market cruelty that swapped Christ’s compassion for capitalist nastiness. Today, Evangelical power brokers like Tony Perkins (Family Research Council), Franklin Graham, and Mike Huckabee continue the grift, pushing policies that hurt the poor, marginalise minorities, and destroy the planet, all while crying “Christian values.” It's worth googling these people - they are literally the worst of humanity claiming to be conduits for the word of God - for a fee of course.
Trump: The Golden Calf of American Theocracy
If hypocrisy had a human form, it would be Donald J. Trump. A serial adulterer, accused rapist, pathological liar, and casino hustler, this man couldn’t quote two Bible verses in a row if you stapled them to his comb-over. And yet, 80% of white Evangelicals voted for him in 2016 (Pew Research, 2016). Why? Because he gave them power. He delivered conservative judges, gutted reproductive rights, demonised immigrants, and said the quiet part out loud. Trump is the Evangelical right’s perfect messiah: cruel, corrupt, and completely void of empathy. Even his spiritual “advisor” Paula White, another prosperity gospel fraud, once tried to summon angels from Africa to secure his re-election (CNN, 2020). These people aren’t prophets. They’re lunatics.
Christian Zionism: The Third Temple Death Cult
Here’s where the delusion turns dangerous. The Evangelical right’s support for Israel has nothing to do with love for Jews, it’s about triggering the fucking apocalypse. Christian Zionists like John Hagee openly preach that the modern state of Israel must fulfil prophecy by rebuilding the Third Temple on the Temple Mount, thus starting the End Times, which, spoiler alert, ends in the slaughter of every non-Christian Jew unless they convert (Haaretz, 2023). This isn’t theology. It’s a doomsday cult with nuclear implications. They don’t give a shit about Jewish safety. They just want to press fast-forward on global war. And American foreign policy is being written with one eye on the Book of Revelation. In this context Donald Trump is the Anti-Christ and Elon Musk is the False Prophet.
The Theocratic Pipeline: From Megachurches to Project 2025 and the Dark Enlightenment
This isn’t just about televangelists getting rich off desperate old ladies, or Southern states banning abortion. This is about power, and how the Evangelical right is actively aligning itself with the next phase of far-right authoritarianism.
Project 2025: A Christian Fascist Manifesto in a Three-Piece Suit
Project 2025 is the Heritage Foundation’s blueprint for a post-democracy United States. A total overhaul of the American government, written by hard-right ideologues and funded by billionaire dark money. The aim? Turn the executive branch into a single-man dictatorship, purge civil servants, and force Christian nationalist policy into every agency. Evangelicals love it because it codifies their vision of Christian supremacy. It replaces pluralism with dominion. Under Project 2025, there would be no right to abortion, no protections for LGBTQ+ people, no separation of church and state. Instead, we'd get a country run like a right-wing mega-church: authoritarian, patriarchal, intolerant, and fanatically obsessed with obedience. Trump’s closest Evangelical advisors, Paula White, Tony Perkins, and the Family Research Council, aren’t just supporters of this plan: they’re ideological architects. They’re not trying to save America. They’re trying to remake it into a theocracy, where dissent is criminal and the only freedom is the freedom to obey. Less the land of the free - more Iran with MAGA hats and Baseball.
Enter: The Dark Enlightenment
And here’s where it gets even more disturbing. The Evangelical death cult isn’t just fusing with old-school authoritarianism, it’s dovetailing with neo-reactionary digital fascism. Enter the Dark Enlightenment. Coined by crypto-fascist tech blogger Curtis Yarvin (aka Mencius Moldbug), the Dark Enlightenment is a philosophy that rejects democracy altogether. It idolises monarchy, hierarchy, and algorithmic governance. It views “the masses” as stupid, equality as unnatural, and liberal democracy as a failed experiment. To the Dark Enlightenment crowd: Peter Thiel types, Reddit-addled edgelords, AI cultists, religion isn’t sacred. It’s useful. A tool to pacify the herd, reinforce authority, and sanctify inequality. And what’s more perfect for that than American Evangelicalism? A religion already built on obedience, hierarchy, and tribal fear. In this new alliance, Evangelicals bring the moral panic. Tech fascists bring the infrastructure. Together, they’re building a 21st-century dystopia: think Handmaid’s Tale by way of Silicon Valley.
Dominion Theology Meets Digital Authoritarianism
Dominion theology: core to Christian nationalism, teaches that Christians must rule every sphere of society: government, media, education, culture. This is not about coexistence. It is about conquest. It is explicitly anti-democratic. Pair that with the Dark Enlightenment’s contempt for the public, and you’ve got a match made in hell. It’s no coincidence that the far-right is obsessed with AI, cryptocurrencies, and surveillance tech, tools that bypass democratic institutions and concentrate power in unelected, unaccountable hands. They want a world where elections don’t matter, rights don’t exist, and you are ruled by a God-appointed CEO backed by billionaires and scripture. And the foot soldiers for this project? The Evangelical right. Trained to obey. Primed to hate. Ready to burn democracy down in Jesus’ name. Halleluljah - Praise the Lord!
This Is a Theo-fascist Coup, Dressed in Patriotic Drag
What we’re facing isn’t religion. It’s dominionist techno-fascism. It’s megachurches funding policy white papers. It’s billionaires laundering theology through think tanks. It’s the Book of Revelation rewritten by Peter Thiel and footnoted by Steve Bannon. It’s Project 2025. It’s the Dark Enlightenment. It’s theocratic fascism with a website and a donor network. And if you think they’re going to stop with Roe, or book bans, or state-funded prayer in schools, think again. These people are coming for total control, and they are building the machinery to take it. So no. There’s nothing Christian about the Evangelical right. Just the grinning skull of empire in a clerical collar.
Fuck them all.
