My friend, you are under the delusion that these pastors are Christians.
Communist fronts have always assumed many guises. The Christian religion isn't even a new one.
Exactly, statists will hide anywhere. They are completely immoral. The will pretend to be international socialist, ie Lenin etal., when that is popular. They will pretend to be national socialists, Hitler etal., when that is popular. They will pretend to be Christians or any other religion, if that is popular And they will pretend to be environmentalist, if that is popular.
They mostly pretend to be environmentalist these days. But there are enough Christians that they are happy to pretend to be one of theme and coop Christianity too.
