A person is, the less they're worried about life on the planet surviving mankind's pollution, plunder, and multiplying population.

One example of quotes used, as if they're a substitute for scientific facts:

"Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him:

"I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you
and with every living creature that was with you--the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you--every living creature on earth.

I establish my covenant with you:

Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."

http://web.mit.edu/jywang/www/cef/Bible/NIV/NIV_Bible/GEN+9.html#:~:text=I%20establish%20my%20covenant%20with,flood%20to%20destroy%20the%20earth.%22&text=I%20have%20set%20my%20rainbow,between%20me%20and%20the%20earth.

Whew, we're saved!

Political Christians rather than Christians of faith.

They support Trump who says he is so perfect that he does not need Christ or his forgiveness.

Like today's evangelical/religious right supporters, Trump is a Political Christian, not a Christian of faith.

Evangelicals/religious right are easily able to spin their beliefs for political expediency.

The Donald who does not have to ask Jesus for forgiveness.

The Donald who ridicules Holy Communion.

Trump: Drink my little wine, have my little cracker
