Recent data from the Cooperative Election Study shows 20% of atheists have participated in a march or protest compared to 6% of white evangelicals. 40% of atheists have contacted a public official compared to 24% of white evangelicals. 52% of atheists have donated to political candidates compared to just 26% of white evangelicals. Pull back further and the divide between progressives and conservative evangelicals shows the former, not the latter, more actively involved in protest and politics.
"The Supreme Court let a Texas law stay in place because the plaintiffs in the case sued the wrong people. The Supreme Court refused to halt the law because the Court does not stop laws. The Court only stops people from enforcing the laws. When the wrong people are sued, the Court has no power to stop them. Progressives insisted, despite the dereliction of duty by the plaintiffs, that the Court should stop the law anyway. While four justices would have done so, they would have deviated from legal precedent."
Progressives will just ignore the law; they have the example of the Biden administration's reaction to SCOTUS holding the rent moratorium to be unconstitutional as a guide. That's the way we roll here in post-Constitutional America.
Thinking that evangelicals will do anything besides talk\bitch amongst themselves is laughable. Exhibit 1. David Ralston is still speaker of the house.

We evangelicals need to get better about talking to our representatives and public officials or they won't know we're still here.
We all need to stay focused and vote these morons out in ‘22. It’s really that simple. Until then, don’t be afraid to speak up and push back.
