3.5% of the world population is Evangelical, it’s around 1% in my country. It’s less than the number of atheists (7% globally, 63% in my country). So no, absolutely not representative. Your answer is very US-centered.
And in my country were atheism is very spread, I see a lot a manipulated people. Religious people aren’t more easily manipulated than others, it’s just that religious easily manipulated people are attracted by Evangelicalism.
What would Jesus do? He would find a loophole in the law to help unjustly marginalized people. I love this story.
