Unchristian Evangelicals

Sarah Burris points to polls indicating younger adults are turning away from religion due to intolerant and anti-science attitudes among conservative Christians.
White evangelicals have co-opted mainstream Christianity, and an entire generation has never lived in an world without hypocritical pastors worshiping the almighty dollar and begging the poor to send Jesus their retirement funds.
Update (November 6):  Now we know why immigration is such a big deal for some white people.
[A study] published last Monday by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), suggest many white evangelicals don’t see eye to eye with Protestants of color on issues concerning race, immigration and [von Clownstick's] effect on white supremacists.
PRRI found that unlike members of any other major religious group, most white evangelicals said immigrants represented a threat to America’s customs and values. Fifty-seven percent said that immigrants threatened American society, while 43 percent said immigrants strengthened American society.
