The Religious Right is captive to the Prosperity Theology condemned in the Bible.
The "God blesses the rich and successful" theology of the majority of Churches in America and elsewhere has been corrupted by money and power.
The Book of Job in the Bible was written specifically to explode this selfish and expedient theology.
And Jesus said: You cannot serve two masters - God and money. (Matthew 6:24)
This also explains their reluctance to help the sick and the poor - because they believe that God is punishing them.
And their blatantly political stance on social issues betrays their ignorance and fear.
They invoke violence, hate, and judgement.
They demonize their enemies.
And they threaten and tempt everyone.
All for the love of money and power.
