    It was engineered in the 1930’s i keeping telling people to look into James W. Fifield Jr him with National Organization of Manufacturers (NAM) that put capitalism above Jesus in American Christianity. They did this becase churches pushing socialist community programs and collective bargaining. scared the hell out of robber barons liked JP Morgan and Joseph Pew. There is a unbroken line between Fifield and the people behind trump.

      Southern Christians were the most socialist, they had huey long, and the south was dead poor and without electricity till the new deal and tva.

      But lbj made them choose between their religion and their racism, and that was no choice.

      That’s unfair, the southern baptist convention was formed because the triennial convention wasn’t explicitly pro-slaveey enough, so they kept their religion, just without all that icky “caring for your fellow man” garbage.
