Christianity has suffered a similar fate with the hard right faction. As many, not all but many, Christians were fervently anti-choice, they were ok with allowing people who were willing to do the dirty work of the anti-abortion movement into their ranks and gave them more and more access and power. Over time these people became not just foot soldiers and operatives, but leaders, and they brought their hardline thinking into the mix, giving rise to Christian Nationalism, Dominionism, and the movement to abolish the seperation of Church and State and make the United Stated a theocracy.
So no, I dont think all Christians are right wing. But many are, and more importantly a great many who are not refuse to speak out against the manipulation and hijacking of their faith and all that comes with that.
