This is a great example of the problems of conflating religious beliefs with political parties. The FRC and similar groups are mere political organizations. However they may have once seen themselves, they are using politics for fiscal gain.

I support anyone’s right to practice religion—be if Christianity, Judaism, Islam, or whatever. If your spirituality brings peace to your soul, that is a positive for you and for the world around you. But this political religiosity operation is not that.
“Locking arms” with any political group takes away from a spirit-based life. If your religion teaches you all life is sacred, I don’t see how you can oppose gun regulation, women’s rights, human rights, or naked power grabs to marginalize some people and elevate others.
Groups aligning with the GOP for politics do so not to spread a gospel, but to extend their own power and line their coffers. They celebrate their hypocrisy because they get more out of it. And they do harm to both their faith and their country in the process.
