Most Christians in the US are as lax about their religion, as they are about their politics. They don't scrutinize what the church leaders do, any more than they scrutinize what the politicians do.
So when the rabid Christians, or politicians, propose something, and the sound bite doesn't indicate it'll affect them personally, their like yeah, ok, whatever, how about them Celtics.
This leads to the rabid Christians, seeming to speak for millions of people that wouldn't agree with them, if they took the time to understand what's being proposed. It also leads to politicians, that should be dumped, being returned to office.
I believe the majority
are moral, but they are uninvolved.
