Christians are Fighting Back at the Ballot Box Against Soros’ “Rent-an-Evangelical” Infiltrators

So-called “faith leaders” are misrepresenting Christianity for political gain—an effort to help Democrats defeat conservatives by sinking the Evangelical vote in November

Did you know the Soros network is funding “rented Evangelicals” to play Christian “mascots” for their anti-Christian agenda?

Their goal is to infiltrate churches and twist Scripture to promote radical, anti-biblical beliefs—and undermine the Christian vote this November. You may be shocked by the false teachers involved in this twisted scheme.

The American Association of Evangelicals (AAE) is shining light on these politically motivated false teachers infiltrating the church with an urgent letter for pastors and Christians to sign and share with their neighbors and fellow believers. The letter details the dangers at our doorsteps and the attempt by Democrat anti-Christian billionaires to infiltrate and harm the evangelical movement.

SIGN AAE’S LETTER HERE AND FIGHT BACK

Evangelicals are known to be a powerful voting bloc—strongly supporting the GOP—and are therefore a powerful threat to pro-abortion, totalitarian Democrats. Organizations founded on strong Evangelical principals have been infiltrated and are now a front to push radical leftist ideologies.

Evangelical Christians have historically been devout conservatives whose central focus is salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Over the last decade there has been an effort to undermine evangelicals because their political views don’t align with the secular culture and Democrat narratives. False teachers are now funded by far-left extremist groups like Soros’ Open Society Foundations to undermine pro-life Christians who stand firmly in the teachings of Jesus.

Webster defines Evangelicalism as “emphasizing salvation by faith in the atoning death of Jesus Christ through personal conversion, the authority of Scripture, and the importance of preaching as contrasted with ritual.” Based on this definition, if you want to know whether a church is genuinely Evangelical, follow the money and dissect its teachings.

Woke Teachers in Our Midst

Don’t confuse the AAE with the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), which would be better labeled the National Association of Pretend Evangelicals. The Soros and Hewlett Foundations, both mega-donors to “progressive” secular groups, have given millions of dollars to the NAE, which pushes far-left ideology like the religion of global warming. Similarly, the NAE does not condemn abortion; in June 2024 it even urged Biden to keep the border open.

Fortunately, some denominations, like the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), voted to leave the “progressive” NAE but there is more work to do to expose their false teachings.

Vote Common Good is led by Douglas Pagitt, who claims to be a Christian pastor, but is really the type of false teacher we are warned about in 2 Peter 2: “Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.”

The organization’s website reveals what they believe: “New religious imagination will change America.” Pagitt further claims the Bible instructs to “seek the common good” in all we do. Pagitt has created his own religion, and it’s not Christianity. He supports abortion and same-sex marriage and pushes for gun control legislation, but mostly he just hates Donald Trump.

Vote Common Good’s X/Twitter account is filled with statements in 2021 that indicate their mission is “electing progressive policy makers,” referring to secularists who believe Christianity must be eradicated from our schools, government, and homes.

Pagitt’s organization now in 2024 has billboards across the nation opposing Donald Trump but it appears he may be improperly using his organization’s tax-exempt status to attempt to influence an election.

Vote Common Good is a 501(c)(4) tax-exempt organization required by law to limit its political activities. Amazingly, though, the group’s 2021 tax form details its most significant activity is to “prevent the re-election of Donald Trump.” Suspiciously, when asked whether “the organization engage[d] in political campaign activities in support or opposition to candidates for public office,” it responded “no.”

Christianity Today, the magazine founded by Billy Graham, has strayed far away from its Evangelical roots. Yet how many Christians are aware of just how woke it’s become?

In 2019, Christianity Today called for President Trump to be removed from office amidst an onslaught of viciously anti-Trump and unbiblical articles. In 2023, Christianity Today wrote an article claiming Jesus was “Asian” rather than Jewish. The editor in chief, Russell Moore, claims Evangelicals are too “far-right.”

Franklin Graham, son of Rev. Billy Graham, has criticized the magazine for abandoning his father’s beliefs to push radical narratives. In 2022, Christianity Today received a $1 million grant from the pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly Foundation. Lilly is known for its liberal DEI initiatives and pushing employee LGBT affinity groups.

The After Party (TAP) is a “curriculum” created by an organization called Redeeming Babel, itself founded by Curtis Chang. The curriculum is touted to “reframe your political identity in light of the Gospel’s promises.” Chang targets churches in battleground states and is funded by far-left, pro-abortion, anti-Christian organizations like Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.

Never Trumper David French is one of the key authors of TAP’s curriculum. French told Evangelicals during the COVID lockdowns that their “anxiety, distrust of institutions, and political polarization” was stopping the “healing [of] the world.”

French and his colleagues have falsely claimed that Christians who don’t trust the government and get the COVID shot aren’t following Scripture.

Redeeming Babel published a “pastor’s toolkit” with FAQs on the COVID shot claiming the “vaccine” was rigorously tested and encouraged vaccination even if a person had COVID. Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook founder, Democrat mega-donor (who is not a Christian), and key investor in the COVID “vaccines,” is a major funder of David French.

TAP denies that Christianity is under attack in America while demanding Christians compromise with radical secularists. They improperly use Jesus’ teaching about “turning the other cheek” to justify their twisted views on “progressive” politics. TAP also emphasizes faith in government rather than in Jesus. The curriculum is certainly partisan, and President Trump is vilified throughout.

When asked why Christian sources weren’t funding the project, French replied: “When you take on MAGA, a lot of threats and intimidation follow.” French and his colleague’s agenda is clearly to defeat Trump and promote the Democrat agenda—with help from far-left anti-Christian billionaires.

God will hold those accountable in leadership positions who teach false doctrine and lead people astray. James 3:1 tells us that teachers of God’s Word are held to a higher standard: “Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.”
