Can anyone explain why so many people are suddenly ‘Christian’? I feel like this resurgence in religiosity from Christians is coming out of nowhere

It's because of MAGA. They're trying to take over the country and turn America into Gilead. Evangelists have sensed that their power has been waning in recent years and are trying to violently wrest it back. It seems crazy until you realize that almost all of the major terrible decisions made in this country in recent years have been religiously motivated. Overturning of Roe V. Wade - religiously motivated, 10 commandments in schools - religiously motivated, attempts of banning contraceptives and at trying to pass a bill to force all pregnant women to be put on a government registry to be tracked - religiously motivated, "inspecting" children before letting them go to the bathroom - religiously motivated. It feels like not enough people recognize that this is happening.

Evangelists

I think you mean Evangelicals. But yea. Evangelicals infiltrated the GOP since the early 00's / late 90's at least. Big reason why being anti-abortion was always a requirement to be a Republican candidate. The stuff coming to fruition now is just the result of their planning to convert the United States government into a hardcode fundamentalist theocracy by any means necessary.

""inspecting" children before letting them go to the bathroom"

Urgh. I would rather my daughter just go into a bathroom with boys than have her gender checked by an adult. I get that isn't even what's happening, but even if it was I would prefer it.

Anyone who try’s to check my kids “gender” will get their nose broken.

Gilead

Until they find out Gilead is in TransJordan and they shit their pants in rage.

Yeah. If anyone was wondering, Gildead is what America has been renamed to in "A Handmaid's Tale".
