E.g. abortion rights, anti-LGBTQ, contempt for atheism, Christian nationalism, etc.

    Thanks for your response. Much appreciated.

    Still, the things you say they don’t want to engage in a conversation about or even acknowledge are actual policies the party engages heavily in. And that’s really my question. How do they reconcile their non-religious convictions with those religious policies of the party.

    Do you mean they just don’t care and vote for the party regardless because there’s one policy they like?

      They honestly seem like any other voter. For me, I don’t agree with every position the dem party takes. They are the same, they simply agree with republicans more the democrats.

      At least that’s my take.

      I read it as being a matter of phrasing. Which will make rewording potentially difficult. But for instance, you use the phrase “Christian Nationalism” to cover an umbrella of policies you see as related, I think OP is saying that your average republican doesn’t identify their policies and opinions as being part of the Christian nationalism umbrella. Since they don’t make that association, they don’t, maybe even don’t know how to, engage under that umbrella.
