This part I agree with.
If religious leaders supported the basic values that Jesus supposedly taught, an argument could be made that maybe they aren't total frauds and con artists.
But if you suggest that good Christians should naturally support collective efforts to help the poor and sick and impoverished, most on the Christian Right will loudly object, if collective means through elected government.
And if you talk with evangelicals, most will short shrift to any duty to follow Jesus's teachings - pointing instead to the magical formula of accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior as all you really need to do.
What's worse, most of the values of the Christian Right seem to come from the Old Testament - and specifically those parts where bigotry and violence were preached and praised.
And while these "good Christians" don't want government to help the poor, sick, homeless, etc., they absolutely want government in the bedroom and schools and clinics - either brainwashing kids or punishing sinners.
As far as I can tell, the only thing America's Christian Right likes about Jesus is the parable of talents. Which I suspect they either don't understand, or just blithely misapply.
