This is a smart strategy. "God" is telling them to quit being stupid.

For some, maybe. I fear though, that God isn't a real force in most of their lives except when they can wield God as a weapon against the vulnerable

What else do you need a God for if not to grant divine authority to dehumanize anyone or anything you don't like?

In my experience, Christians view their faith as a tool they can use by twisting it into a cudgel and beating anyone who disagrees into submission.

Whether they're consciously willing to vocalize that on the other hand...

It’s not hard to just say, no, you don’t know the will of god.

It’s why we have so many different sects.

Maybe, but god damn I would hate for the Democratic Party to get taken over by religious psychopaths.

Though I agree, I believe if it were to happen it would either be very slow, or instantly cause a third party to emerge.
