Christians: Satan is conniving and always trying to lead believers away from god.
Evangelicals: God actually wants us to kill every person on the planet so we can all go to heaven.
How does the average Christian not see evangelicals as the foot soldiers of Satan?
The avg christian is an evangelical (at least in America). When I arrived to America, I was horrified. I was an atheist for a good long while.
I am a (Liberation Theology) Catholic, and, while I lack statistical data, I suspect the Catholic Church has similar problems to Evangelicals. Evangelicals get (almost exclusively) the bad fame because they are (at least here in Brazil) a new movement, and a minority. Also, they are very "conspicuous" (to use a polite word!), with ministers (including politicians) yelling and using violent and prejudiced terms, and even speaking "in tongues".
But conservative Catholics cause a similar amount of evil, while being more sophisticated. In Brazil, representative Marcel van Hattem is an evil maniac, and people don't associate him with Catholic theocracy but he was installed by Catholic money.
In Spain, a bitter ex-member of Opus Dei denounced: every male Opus Dei member volunteered to fight alongside the Nazis in WWII to kill the Red Army (which was Mankind greatest hope against the Nazis). Opus Dei spokesperson did not deny it; he "contextualized" it by saying every other Catholic organization is Spain did the same. And the brutal fascist Franco himself was installed and maintained with very strong Catholic (and Nazi) support.
The Ukrainian Catholic authorities collaborated with the Nazi Army. As late as September 2025 the Vatican News justified this Nazi collaboration because it was done not out of "ideological sympathy", but to free Ukraine from the Soviets. Excuse me? Nazis hated Slavs (such as Ukrainians) about as much as they hated blacks, gays and Jews. They would colonize Ukraine with genocide and ethnic cleansing. And that is justified because you wanted capitalism back?
This reads like this: we admit we sacrificed a million children and drank their blood to summon Lucifer and make him absolute King, but it was only a pragmatic pact with Satan for political goals, so it is OK!
These same people say a raped woman cannot have an abortion because the ends do not justify the means.
