The religious are useful idiots for true Conservatives, who know they are an easy source of cash, if you just say a few choice words. Pull the lever, and out comes the treat.

My Mom worked on policy. Taxes. Lobbying Senators, Legislators, and Governors on behalf of truly terrible policies that we see the fallout from (literally, Flint, Michigan) today.

Zero of those lobbyists and legislators had an ounce of true Christianity in them. It was a hat they wore to get into the party.

The work actually happened in the rooms where my Mom was.
