And they have a fear of the Lord, or going to Hell when they die ? They think they're imposing the will of God by their actions ?
I'm not sure I can accept all that stereotyping. I haven't seen the Proud Boys doing any religious preaching.

BigE it's not stereotyping. Those things are a result of their programming. Watch the Faux big three (Hannity/Ingram/Carlson) a few nights. Watch Faux & Friends. Propaganda presented in a nice shiny package. To the cult faithful these are the only true sources of "news". They take the bile spread by these sources as gospel. The PB's haven't been doing any religious preaching, sedition however is another story.
Those who are spoiling for, I wouldn't say an actual civil war but not ruling out, a violent action to take control of a situation they see as robing them of their way of life they believe their cause is just and holy. They've been spoon fed the idea by the GOP that them "lib Dems" are destroying America. You can't be against God or country, right?
These slap-on-the-wrist sentences being handed out against the Jan. 6th insurrectionists aren't much of a deterrent
or a punishment. Many of them still maintain that they did nothing wrong. If one views what the did wasn't wrong and the punishment for it isn't a deterrent what's to stop them from doing it again?
