The radical right wing religionists are already in many parts of the government. When you have a radical pastor holding prayer vigils in the White House and you have some devout radical Christians in the Cabinet you already have strong influence that will have an impact.
Moore if anything represents a religious base that is serious about making America great again via Christian values. That movement means the end of women's civil rights as wall as LGBT and even minorities. They serious want to end any kind of secular government.
This radical agenda means turning over domestic programs like health care, food stamp money, unemployment and labor programs over to the churches. Such a domain is pre 20th century thinking where government had virtually no role in these areas. Churches and charities is where these responsibilities resided. Moore represents that belief system.

(82,849 posts)Make sure that those who have much do not have too much and that those who have little do not have too little? That sort of Bible based government? The kind that welcomes the alien and the stranger, ministers to the sick and diseased, and calls on the wealthy to shoulder their share of supporting the society that made them wealthy?
Or maybe they're reading the Bible very differently?
