Do you think they are inherently less moral as a group given their support for Trump, opposition to women’s and LGBTQ rights, beliefs that occasionally flirt with theocracy, and tendency to be racially conservative and often back Neo Jim Crow Laws while being anti immigrant?

By the way, if religious people are more moral...

Why is the prison population heavily religious? How come we don't see any agnostic or atheist prisoners in jail, yet every death row convict is some holy Jesus fella?
Or how abortion clinics terrorism is by militant evangelicals.

I can't seem to recall where I read this, but there was an essay by Haidt or some other social psychologist a while back that I thought made a pretty compelling case for moral self-licensing being an especial problem in the Evangelical community. This isn't the same thing as Evangelicals "being less moral", of course, but it's something to consider.
Like the whole Tammy Faye Baker thing.

"Nothing in history has done more to turn people away from Christianity than organized religion. The religious elite has got this idea that somehow their sins aren’t as bad as everyone else’s" - Jerry Falwell Jr to Vanity Fair

His father is the root cause of the downfall of America. When such con-men perpetuated politicians with empty promises the public work up and saw the light, at least the bright ones. This was the end of of Christianity grudge hold on American society, when people saw it was nothing more than a man-made organization with a history of homophobia, misogyny, and racism against the minorities of the country.  Why else would a person be against same sex marriage, the right to choice, and accepting vaccines if there wasn't some guy dressed in suits telling on Sunday morning the secular elite was out to get you and your baby.

Christian nationalism right now is a threat to the democracy and well being of every American. Qanon has spouted dangerous views that will continue to be the popular majority in the Republican Party. Those who say it is just 2008 New Atheist talking points are just deluding themselves with the secular community creating a straw man or they are religious and don't want tone held accountable for all the atrocious of the faith they hold dearly in the past. When it's all said and done, eventual more people are going to realize religion is the greatest trouble facing the progress of mankind, and will continue until the Bible and Koran go the way of Zeus.
Jihadism became popular partially as a reaction to a fear of communism, given they often cclosed mosques.
