"I don't want to see
religious bigotry in any
form. It would disturb me
if there was a wedding
between the religious
fundamentalists and the
political right. The hard
right has no interest in
religion except to
manipulate it."
Rev. Billy Graham,
Parade, 1981

They are just like peanut butter and jelly!!!
Just a liked sticky mess even whilevit goes down!!!
It mixes with each other and sure becomes shit every time!!!
It might have seemed like Billy Graham was in some way more, but I think he just didn't want the politicians cutting in on his gravy train.
The thing about ol' Billy Graham is he used the whole system thinking he could control it to gain an edge for his beliefs. Like many on the right thought they could control trump while using him to gain their edge.
None are willing to accept their ideals are not that popular but believe if they can just force it on folks they'll just somehow come around.
The ones we have to worry about don't have any ideals other beyond getting money and power. They're just using the true believers like pawns.
His son didn't agree. And, few evangelicals are noted for their staunch honesty.
With “wedding” being a metaphor, these two were wed well over a century ago. Before Darwin’s time. Look at the First Great Awakening.
Ignore Wikipedia; it’s too thoroughly edited by theists. Other sources refer to slogans such as “No King but King Jesus”. In the Second Awakening interest grew in freeing slaves.
