From an interview with a local politician who had gone door to door canvassing and had just talked to the guy weeks earlier, it turns out he was a particularly psychotic anti-mormon zealot.
It was just pure hatred for mormonism (?)

I don't really have anti-mormonism on my bingo card so I'm not sure its a round peg you can fit into square holes of ideologies.
Dude just had some very serious animus towards the LDS church for some unclear reason

As a firm believer in freedom of religion, I don't care that mormons worship lucifer behind the veil.

Meanwhile Trump, the dude who has never read the bible and is probably one of the most fake Christians I have ever heard try to speak about Christianity... the dude who never goes to church... Is introducing an "Anti-Christian Bias Task Force".... because somehow Christianity, the most prominent religion in America, is under attack.

Just one more Christo-fascist piece to nationalize America into one religion.

Now that would be incredible

We know that in terms of culture, it is. Whether you consider that a true attack or not is up to perspective.

Ah your side is mentally ill and needs compassion. The other side is targeted and kills people cause they are so butt hurt and triggered.
Trump has you brainwashed to like 90%

its so silly to even think that Trump is some1 going around trying to brainwash people...

I'm a moderate and can vote either way, but lets be real. there is gun violence on both sides, but the right has not quite destroyed cities and shops liek the left has int he past decade

Trump on the other hand literally puts ZERO effort into any sort of intel, etc... Most of the republican outreach is by influencers

The United States has been overwhelming Christian since its founding. The founders openly quoted scripture. The political power of Christianity is a shadow of its former self, and the country is still ~70% Christian. The notion that there's a conspiracy to install Christianity as the nation's defacto religion is ridiculous. It already is.

I find it odd that people equate Christianity to fascism but are accepting of religions like Islam. And even support Palestine. Surely ya'll have seen clips of what they do to lgbtq people over there... they are beheaded or stoned. The woman are covered and have no rights, etc.

Welp this topic is turing out great.

Id love to hear what the guys actual reasoning was. Hating religion is fine and dandy, but it cant only be hating religion. No abuse as a child, no tired of the promises made promises ignored? No loved one that was crushed by a statue of jesus with the event swept under the rug? Theres gatta be something else.

"Just felt like killin." Vibes.
