That’s a rather broad, fact-free claim. However inasmuch as Republicans are plagued at all, it’s because of falling into the same folly of state as Christian mother of the people. It isn’t, it can’t be, Jesus never promised it, Jesus never commanded it.
We need look no farther than the church budgets and members’ calendars and checkbooks. For example, less than 2% of US churches budgets goes to missions. For even more challenging statistics, check out:

Since there are far larger percentage of Republicans in these churches than there are Democrats, the fingers are pretty much pointing back at us.
