I for one generally dislike hypocrites. Left, right, christian, agnostics, whoever. Hypocrites, I feel, are deserving of critizism in any case.
I especially dislike hypocrites who take influence over other people and use said influence for hypocritical messages.

Trump told religious "leaders" that there will be violence if the GOP loses the midterm elections. Told them all things they worked for will end in that scenario. He told them that freely saying "merry Christmas" is a big reason to support him in fullest strength. Those are BS points, and passing them on is BS as well.

Now I don't know about "religious leaders" and who they lead, but I believe there are networks and contacts to preachers with an actual following of people in place. In said sense, I feel a propaganda campaign is going on, one that holds no valid points and takes advantage of a certain position of trust. (Like "God put me here to tell you saying "merry Christmas" will be frowned upon, yeah maybe forbidden soon if Trump's party loses an election" or things like that.)

And yeah, I also dislike propaganda campaigns that rally up people with BS points.
