The Evangelical Church Is Not About Jesus—It’s About Power

Watching the Empire Fall

We are watching more than just an empire crumble in the U.S.—we are witnessing the collapse of the American evangelical church. Once a beacon of faith, morality, and compassion, it has become a political machine, a cheerleader for cruelty, and a mouthpiece for authoritarianism. Jesus, it seems, is no longer in the room.

From Complicity to Advocacy

For years, critics have accused parts of the church of being complicit in racism and fascism. But today, complicit is too gentle a word. The evangelical movement is actively promoting a man who treats deportations as a blood sport, claims that Black people are born criminals, calls for “war” in Chicago, and publicly entertains ideas of ethnic cleansing in Gaza. These are not fringe ideas—these are policies cheered on from the pulpit, amplified by faith leaders who have abandoned moral judgment for political loyalty.

Feasting While the Vulnerable Starve

At the same time, this political-religious alliance thrives on spectacle and wealth. The same man they champion dines on gourmet steaks with billionaires, attends glitzy donor events, and celebrates the elite—while dismantling healthcare, starving social programs, and cutting aid to those who are most in need. The hypocrisy is staggering: a church that once preached feeding the hungry now elevates a figure who devours the moral and material resources of the vulnerable.

Faith Corrupted

American evangelicalism has traded conscience for power, humility for spectacle, and Jesus for the cult of personality. It no longer challenges injustice—it amplifies it. It no longer uplifts the oppressed—it shames them. It no longer teaches morality—it monetizes loyalty.

The Moral Reckoning

This is not just a political crisis—it is a spiritual crisis. The question facing American evangelicals is stark: will they reclaim their faith and moral compass, or will they continue to kneel before cruelty, oppression, and wealth in the name of God? History will remember not just the leaders, but the silence and cheers of the faithful who chose power over principle.

A Church in Crisis

The evangelical church, once a moral voice, now mirrors the very corruption it should oppose. Its failure is not just institutional—it is ethical, spiritual, and human. Watching it stand behind cruelty is a lesson for all: faith without justice, morality without courage, and religion without conscience is not faith at all.
