... for one moment that such malignant evil could not possibly happen here, you're not paying attention.
Religious fanaticism and savagery simmers just below the surface of supposedly "ordinary" Christian minds, and the mob mentality is always ready to explode in the congregations of the mega-churches; "pastors" like Kevin Swanson, and other with similarly malevolent tendencies, just have to say the word. Or just obliquely suggest it, and all Hell will break loose.
Sprinkle that with a little Christian Nationalist fairy dust, and boy Howdy, you gots yo'self a rip-snortin' Holy War!
When they go that low, y'all can go as high as you want, but you ain't gonna escape the self-righteous wrath of the sanctimonious worshippers of that Old Time Religion, or the vindictive, thunderbolt slingin' Old Testament gawd that spawned it.
You've been warned.
