cult, are just in it for money or power, but even if they actually belive in what they preach, they aren't even smart enough to figure out you cannot force people into a true faith.

Rabbi Harold Kushner(no relation) wrote a book, " Why Bad Things Happen to Good People. He puts forth the theory that God gave humans free will because he wants us to do good and love and believe in him willingly.

As you point out the Constitution doesn't allow the establishment of singular faith as the country's religion. So the Christian Right is violating the Constitution they claim to have loyalty to, and if Kushner's theory is on point, they are violating the will of the very God, they claim to follow. They are hypocritical to the core.
