By the way, the religious right is not religious biblically speaking. The bible says above all Love.

And let he who is the greatest among you be servant of all. Do you think the republicans and their mean actions fit that?! No. Then guess who else is on our side. For it is written He who has love has God. He who hath not love doesn't know God. For God IS Love. God doesn't have love. He IS Love. He also says fight the good fight. (Of faith not doubt).

is that there are countless hateful, evil things in it too. The religious right prefers those bits.

The unenlightened bits. The bulk of the book.

I can't reconcile their words and actions to the Christ I encounter from reading the Bible, but they believe the things they believe with a cult-like fervor.

They like to throw around Jesus' name, but don't seem to understand the generosity of the spirit

Observation of any religion is religious. The details don't change the meaning of that very general term that can apply to satanism as much as Christianity.
Whether or not someone behaves in a way that reflects a given religion is a different question.
