I guess I have been listening to that bullshit all my life, growing up in various churches across PA. Basically this was a "Christian nation" and secular forces and Democrats are making it a godless country, so there has always been talk about "saving the country", restoring prayer to schools, getting rid of abortion rights, wiping out all the immorality, and "putting God in charge of the country again" which usually involves in voting for Republicans. This has blossomed into the evangelical and more Pentecostal style groups (the latter having even more consideration of end of world scenarios).
Quakers are actually pretty decent, and the mainstream protestants tend to be more open to diversity and not forcing religion on people -- but we all see now what is happening to the Methodist church (and it's happened before -- the church my mom and I attended for some years in the 1990's was created by breaking off the Methodists because "they allowed gay people/pastors") which is splintering.
For some reason, they all got it in their damn fool heads that folks originally coming here from England due to religious persecution and wanting to establish an open environment with freedom from government forcing religion was about reestablishing the 'real church.' They indoctrinate their kids to believe that the intent was always for their version of Christianity to be the basis of the USA and is in fact the true basis, and if they care about their country, they will fight to reestablish it according to God's law and it's the prior SCOTUS and government from the 1940-90's that took God out of society etc. Sorry for overgeneralizing a bit there... But the kids are raised with that as the default, and so are wary of other viewpoints.
