You should realize that you’re talking about Christians today. You know, Christianity has been around for a while. You should realize that you’re talking about those who live in the U.S. There are a lot of countries in the world and only 4% of the world’s population are American. You should realize that you’re talking about those who are members of what are called “evangelical” churches, more specifically those who go to the large independent churches not affiliated to a denomination. You should realize that you’re talking about the white people within those churches, because if you look at similar churches with mostly black congregations, they aren’t nearly so right-wing. And even among the American churches today with mostly white congregations that are not affiliated with a denomination and which think of themselves as evangelicals, there isn’t quite as much universal political agreement as you might guess.
