When did being a Christian equal being right wing?

96. It's more Evangelicals and some Charismatics who relinquished their control to God.

Since they are more submissive to their pastor's musings and distorted interpretations of the Bible, they are easily malleable and controllable by other forces as well, especially other cult-like influences. This is partly how Trump and the GOP can easily sway them to their desired views. They are taught to believe that the Bible is without error, something that caused quite the stir when the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy was first adopted in the late 70s and later accepted by most mainstream churches.

Christians were told to accept the over 300 errors and conflicts in the Bible as being correct, by inventing fantastic backstories that are not substantiated by history or other religious teachings. Congregants over time just blindly accept what they are being told, even though they know it isn't right. This acceptance trait that they've developed as a coping mechanism is what Trump and other manipulators exploit.
