“In a Pew Research Center report released Wednesday, 27 percent of Americans expressed an unfavorable view of evangelicals, compared to 10 percent who have a negative view of mainline Protestants or 18 percent who have a negative view of Catholics.

About as many have a favorable approach to evangelicals—28 percent—but that’s mostly due to positive sentiment from American evangelicals themselves, about a quarter of the population.”

Americans have always had an unfavorable view of evangelicals, their attempt to impose their literal interpretation of the Bible on every one clashes with the “live and let live” ethos that made America the greatest secular democracy in the world.

But now that evangelicalism is synonymous with Trumpism, the evangelical movement is as toxic as the worst ideologies you can imagine like Nazism and white Nationalism.

Evangelicals are too evangelical; they are on a mission from God to share their religious experience regardless of propriety. There is a time and a place for everything and proselytizing at the checkout register at the supermarket, while flying on a plane or talking about Jesus at work is improper, rude and counterproductive.

Mainline Protestants and Catholics don’t wear their religion on their sleeve, therefore they aren’t perceived as obnoxious by society at large.

Religion is like masturbation, almost everybody belongs to a religion and almost everybody masturbates, but no one wants to hear why your God is the real deal and no one wants to hear how you masturbate.

It’s no surprise that evangelicals love each other, while at the same time they hate anyone who doesn’t share their religious beliefs. Evangelicals are so besotted with love for each other than they are oblivious to how much the world hates them.
