If you’re just going to find any religious nutso to make your argument, I don’t think you’re really arguing in good faith.
Jerry Falwell was a significant Baptist pastor who had a large congregation. He founded a college and also was a significant conservative activist. You could say he was problematic, but he was a significant religious leader.

I don’t know about him but it doesn’t change what I originally said. Billions of people are religious, if they were all so problematic, the world would not function as it does now. The reality is most people are quietly following their religion alone at home. Some crazy guy is gonna be louder and more on TV, but that doesn’t mean he represents all. It’s really funny when you look at “leftist” Americans for example. They say they didn’t vote for Trump so don’t judge them for his actions, but they ignore that no religious people voted for any of those radical and loud few in a position of power either.
