As I suspected, conservative Christians in the US are not real Christians, but rather “money for faith” type people. Their supreme authority is money. Nothing to do with christianity or Jesus or faith.
Trust me, a lot of these conservative Christians absolutely do believe in Jesus and absolutely do believe in God. And to be honest, I wish that people wouldn't try to call them something other than Christians. Because they are Christians. We don't need to preserve the sanctity of that term for only good moral upstanding people. It's just not fair or reasonable to say that only these really excellent people are real Christians and everyone else isn't really a Christian. All that does is reinforce the term as something that conveys goodness and morality. If 95% of the people out there who are calling themselves Christians and who go to Christian churches and who read Christian Bibles act in a certain way, then sorry, that's what Christians are, that's what Christianity is.
Or, to put it more simply: Christians overwhelmingly voted for Trump.
Not all of them, definitely, but a huge percentage did.
That's what they are.
I've been saying for a while that they really ought to be called something other than Christians. Maybe "crooks" is a bit too much on the nose, but some new name is definitely required.
Camels.
For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to gain entrance into heaven...
They worship wealth, they claim to follow these teachings and to know them well, and they expect to enter heaven? Then they are camels, lining up for the eyes of needles and expecting easy passage.
EDIT: Wait, wait.
Scamels.
