    ^ this. I have never bought the whole “evangelical apocalypse” logic, they’ve never actually followed the bibles teachings to begin with, why would they start now?

      I can’t speak for the people with the power to actually make this policy, but for the people I know who have been big believers in this, it’s because this is the part of the Bible they actually like: Jesus coming down from Heaven with sword in hand to destroy all the wrongdoers (read: people the believers don’t like). They have absolutely massive amounts of Christian fanfiction devoted to how they want all this to go down (see: The Left Behind series). This is their superhero power fantasy type beliefs.
