Evidence
Russell Moore, who at that time still led the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, stated, “The sight of ‘Jesus Saves’ and ‘God Bless America’ signs by those violently storming the Capitol is about more than just inconsistency. It is about a picture of Jesus Christ and of his gospel that is satanic.” — Andrew L. Whitehead, American Idolatry, 130
