By being the exact same bullshit spouing, hypocritical scumbag his father was.

I'm wondering where he thinks his angle is.

Jerry Sr's family made their dynasty in Lynchburg from the proceeds of Falwell Sr's dad moonshining. 

I lived in that city from college and after, working and renting and apartment, for over 10 years. That family has always only been concerned with being a degree mill, and asserting their power over that city. I went to another college, not the one Falwell started, but another. Two of the professors, prior to my attending, decades prior, wrote a book about that family exposing his bigotry and power mongering. Even while I lived there, the one local Newspaper, "The Lynchburg News And Advance" since the 60s was always a thorn in Falwell's side. Even in the 90s while I was living there, even their right wing, who did not attend his church or college, hated his bullying the city.

I am shocked - shocked, I tellz ya! - that a rich, professional, evangelical Christian was less than sincere in his professed beliefs.

Gotta give him credit, though, for riding that gravy train until the little head started thinking for the big head.

don’t tell me christianity got to be where it is thanks to people who thought it was bullshit but very convenient for fleecing fools?

what will you tell me next?   that the forces which animate the republican party have no use whatsoever for any of the positions they used to corral morons once they have the morons securely locked away in their own pen?

They do the same thing they did before - peddle hate speech.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Fair point. Simply because he’s not a Christian doesn’t mean his suddenly not a bigot.

Nah, he's still a christian. He makes that plainly clear in the interview. It's just that he doesn't believe in the christian religion. Like Don Jr, he probably wonders what turning the other cheek ever got an asshole but fucked.
