My problem with Christianity is that any random Christian is more likely to be a Zionist than not. How can an entire religion be hijacked like that? Remember: highly motivated people saying they're bringing people closer to god.
Most people are NPCs and will believe whatever they're told. They aren't good or evil. Merely tools.
What are you talking about? Christian Zionism comes from Dispensationalism, which is a uniquely modern American heresy. Maybe you live in a particular area where you're surrounded by these types, but that doesn't mean that's the norm. It's like living in Salt Lake City and thinking every religious person must be a Mormon.
The average European may not worship jews like American dispensationialists, but they tolerate zionist leaders.
Eventually this devolved into dispensationalism and the belief that jews are "gods chosen people" because they say so. But the seeds were sown in England. Though, it goes back long before cromwell and was completed after his reign. Jews were first brought to England by William the bastard. They were given control over the banks by William of orange some 600 years later.
But cromwell's ignorance about jews led to philosemitism among the British, and by proxy, all anglophone people. Which is why they find refuge without issue in anglosphere nations. William the bastard brought them over in the first place. William of orange handed them full control of English society.
It's multifaceted, but you can find something resembling dispensationalism in any country in the anglosphere because all of these beliefs are descended from a common ancestor.
Dutch protestantism suffered a similar fate to english protestantism by the way. The Dutch are largely to blame for what happened in the anglosphere themselves (because of William of orange)
But one thing is for certain—with the way history has unfolded, there is no way Christianity is true in the way it says on the tin. I'm too sleepy to write one of my usual essays on the topic, but there are a million glaring holes in the religion that don't get patched up just because you start hating jews.
I think it draws in right wingers because it is *extremely* aesthetic (icons, crusadercore imagery,) and much of the Bible is a highly poetic, evocative text. It feels very powerful to quote it at the bad guy (or a rival peer) like moral spellcraft, once you've shaped it around your preferred ideology.
Also, it's functionally been an extension of European culture for the last few thousand years, and in the soulless modern world, where young White men are *desperate* for any sense of cultural identity, it becomes very easy to latch onto as something you must defend or "carry on," especially in light of the prior point about how gratifying it is to the senses.
Anyone with mixed ancestry who wants in on "White" identity is particularly vulnerable to this, due to Christianity's universalist overtones. Even if they don't explicitly believe that it teaches religion > race, they understand on a limbic level that it muddies the waters. See u/DeplorableGerman . I also once knew a mischling who was a similarly zealous Christian for similar reasons.
And, credit where credit is due—it is a pretty robust practical values system. Its bigger problems, in my opinion, lie more in the deeper lore and metaphysics. But on the ground, it teaches you softcore asceticism, chastity, caring for your body and community... It's no surprise that it produces strong, fertile Whites among those who take those tenants seriously, even if they're ideologically kneecapped in other areas.
