    They often endorse conservative candidates outright or imply who to vote for through heavy social pressure.

          There’s zero evidence that it’s happening “often” so I’m mostly using the space to point out that there’s more to “church” in America than the white evangelical politics-forward churches they see represented on TV. Those pastors are on TV because they are the exception.

            Man you’ve got me conflicted. On the one hand, Internet edgelord atheists are annoying twats when it comes to projecting their specific Christian trauma onto the world, but that doesn’t mean they are wrong about Christianity specifically.

            Also not sure if we “want more people to vote.” The average American is wildly unqualified to decide the future of a nation.
