There are tens of millions of modern progressive protestants who fully embrace science and are horrified by evangelical extremists who have co-opted Christ in the name of bigotry and exclusion. And they vote.
Unfortunately, they are outnumbered by the fundy extremists, who also vote..
@TomMcGiverin Are they? Or are they just more vocal?
@TomMcGiverin 6 to 35% Americans are Evangelicals depending how the term is defined, 73% of Americans are Christian.
@273kelvin They certainly have an outsized amount of political power, for their numbers, I will concede that..
