41. faith is the basis or religion
and the misuse of that faith is the crime... not the faith itself. Fascism is not a religion, despite the similarities. It's a disservice to both to mix your history with your theology.

Any lesson on diplomacy will teach empathy is the most important trait, no matter your goals. If you can't empathize you cannot reach the table to discuss. and unless your plan is to kill off four million evangelicals you are going to have to learn to negotiate with them. You can't argue with them until they agree with you, and you can't legislate them until they agree with you ad they are not going away. That leaves mind control or negotiation.
