Conservative organizers of the “Million Women” worship rally billed the event — and the November election — as “a last stand moment” to save the nation from satanic forces.
Tens of thousands of evangelical Christians gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Saturday to pray for America’s atonement and for Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
Organizers of the event, billed “A Million Women,” described the gathering — and next month’s presidential election — as “a last stand moment” to save the nation from forces of darkness. For hours, the gathered masses sang worship songs, waved flags symbolizing their belief that America was founded as an explicitly Christian nation and prayed aloud for Jesus to intercede on behalf of Trump in November.
“If we don’t stand now,” said Grace Lin, who traveled from Los Angeles for the rally and came wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat, “then the enemy will take over our country. If that happens, that’s the end.”

Religion is the perfect excuse for everything you don’t have a valid reason for.
Ethics could exist without magical folklore. For social affiliation you could also participate in a sports club. And for moral high ground you should be better judged by your actions instead of membership in a belief system.
No, ideology is. Like how your ideology can cause you to make falsified claims so confidently.
The problem is humans. Humans made religion. Humans made ideology. Humans can hate. Humans can rationalise that hate with or without religion. This is historical fact. Grow up.
Good example.
