Some of the worst people in the country. I was raised evangelical, even the folks I know who were decent on an interpersonal level would never consider voting for anyone other than Republicans.

All the white evangelicals I have known have been the worst people I have ever met. I’ve never met any of their nasty fundamentalist jewish or muslim counterparts in countries they control, but I bet it’s an abrahamic thing.
yhwh just makes everything worse the closer you get to him. The only good followers I’ve ever known ignore like 75% of their religion’s commands.
I’m no fan of imaginary friends in the sky, but it’s a human thing. Consider the gentle Buddhists in Sri Lanka and in Myanmar, having committed genocides against Tamils and Rohingya Muslims, respectively. And let’s not forget the massacres of Indian Muslims by peaceful, vegetarian Hindu extremists.
And if you think it’s only the religious who do atrocities, consider the Holodomor and the Great Leap Forward.
Power is the problem, exacerbated by the human propensity to believe what they’re told.
I mean, people kill people, that’s true. One can still say nuclear weapons are a huge, unreasonable danger though. Just because people kill people in other ways, and did it before nukes, doesn’t change that truth.
