This is a smart strategy. "God" is telling them to quit being stupid.

For some, maybe. I fear though, that God isn't a real force in most of their lives except when they can wield God as a weapon against the vulnerable

What else do you need a God for if not to grant divine authority to dehumanize anyone or anything you don't like?

In my experience, Christians view their faith as a tool they can use by twisting it into a cudgel and beating anyone who disagrees into submission.

Whether they're consciously willing to vocalize that on the other hand...

Though I agree, I believe if it were to happen it would either be very slow, or instantly cause a third party to emerge.
