Those in power are so obviously not concerned about ethics, religion or morality it is absolutely laughable. They are only about gaining raw power and money. Maybe some ego fulfillment. They are willing to use religion merely as a tool to garner votes, and control their voting base.

The followers (i.e. the voting base), are just another classic cult, they actually believe almost all of this horseshit.
