How come Republicans are the most fervent Christians?
[Disclaimer] - I am not an American and I consider myself atheist, I am Caucasian and born in a pre-dominantly Christian country.
Based on my limited knowledge of Christianity, it is all about social justice, compassion and peace.
And I was always wondering how come Republicans are perceiving themselves as devout Christians while the political party they support is openly opposing those virtues and if this doesn't make them hypocrites?
For them the mortal enemy are the lefties who are all about social justice, helping the vulnerable and the not so fortunate and peace.
Christianity sounds to me a lot more like socialist utopia.

That's exactly what it makes them. By the Biblical definition of a hypocrite. Jesus literally talks about what that means.
One of the few groups Jesus ever spoke out about were the Pharisees, and whoo doggy did big JC fucking hate those assholes.
Pharisees were a sect of rather rich people that publicly flaunted their wealth 'as a sign of favor from God'.
They would pray on the street corners out loud things like 'Thank you God for blessing me with wealth and power, unlike that filthy beggar over there. Gee I'm special, thank's God!'
Jesus called them people with a thin veneer of righteousness covering a tomb of dead bones, speaking death.
