I've seen too many General Politics and Off Topic threads posted into Current Events to ever conclude that. Before Damo added a Philosophy & Religion subforum, I can see mistakenly posting this thread here. But, yeah, you're a relatively new poster, so, I can see a simple mistake.

I have been on message boards, and followed politics long enough to know with crystal clear certainty that while end-times Christians and young Earth creationists might be a relatively small minority in the western Christian tradition, they hold a substantial and outsized influence on the Republican Party.
Did people forget that at a televised Republican presidential debate in 2012, several of the Republican presidential candidates indicated they did not believe in Evolution?
The entire "support Zionism...at all costs and no matter what!" premise in conservative circles is largely based on end times mythology.

I never even heard of it till I was in my late 20s. We had friends who went to an evangelical church. Went a few times with them, couldn't believe the weirdness being taught -- or how it was accepted at face value too. Strange. Asked my mom about it later. When we were growing up she was a Sunday School teacher (Lutheran). She had never heard of it either.
