Creationism is very much a conspiracy theory where evangelicals claim scientists are secret satanists or are otherwise doing Satan's work. This hate-mongering fosters the paranoia that is also aimed at other religions, LGBTs, Democrats and non-whites. It's an ugly dangerous cult where the mind is controlled, the eyes are shut and the guns are loaded.

The Evangelicals and other right wingers love America the way a pedophile loves his victim. Given the choice of fascism or democracy, Republicans are down with fascism. They will wrap themselves in the flag, but they will gladly trade the US flag for the confederate flag, or a Trump flag.
