Billy Graham and his many evangelical clones that are now running mega churches and other Religious-Industrial Complex money making empires, have done their best to turn salvation into a process of voting for Republicans and thus corporatist leaders intent on protecting the “rights” of billionaires rather than the people. Billy Graham’s son Franklin, now running the Billy Graham organisation is a corporate shill and supporter of far right “pro-business” causes. So the sins of the evangelical and Roman Catholic “Christian” leadership are the same: The Roman Catholics have sacrificed their own children to the sexual greed of pedophiles out to protect their institution and the Evangelicals have sacrificed the poor to the greed of their corporate masters to protect American businesses. And both profound and filthy betrayals have been done to protect institutions instead of people. Both betrayals have also been accompanied by levels of hypocrisy - the “family values” “pro-life” talk by people who condone pedophiles and no health care for actual families - that would make any decent atheist blush.
