I was curious as to the impact that evangelical and fundamentalist churches have on voters. I attended three different congregations during the election cycle and I was surprised at the extent of group mind control that was dominate. Firstly, their ministers make a mockery out of existing tax laws regulating use of the pulpit for political purposes. What was very disconcerting was the after church meetings that the congregation was encouraged to attend that hosted Republican candidates. It obvious that everyone of the members was committed to a strict party line vote. Not one word of descent was expressed and it was tacitly clear that it would have been met with defacto expulsion of the individual and their family.
It was especially obvious what affect that these blocks of votes could have on low voter turnout in local and state elections. The unified opinion was that they were protecting their families from evil liberals who are intent on spreading immoral teaching that were especially threating to their innocent children. They were on a divinely inspired mission ordained by none other than God. Religious zealots are the most dangerous threat to freedoms, since they are convinced that their mission is sanctified and just.
