Evangelicals and Conservative Protestant and Baptist sects. Once upon a time the churches were segregated and there was a push for desegregation. A lot of people in power didn’t like this but knew they couldn’t just push racism in the church. 1/2
Why is the US the only country where Christians feel persecuted by the fact that non-believers exist. Like in no other countries do they act like this

So they started with anti-LGBT and anti-abortion rhetoric. Only after that they brought in anti-segregation. This has huge ripple effects (to various degrees depending on the sect) across American Christianity. There is still a division with certain sects and ethnic groups. Conservative religious groups fund hyper conservative politicians and foundations. These politicians and foundations need these peoples money so they pass blame onto other religious, political, and ethnic groups. 2/2

Note: None of this infighting with American Christianity and pure hate from certain groups comes as a shock if you know the KKK started with Protestant roots and targeted literally every other group in the US with hate and lynchings… including other Christian sects (Notably Catholics, majority Black sects, and more liberal groups)
