In response to the title question, I'd say, that's like asking "Do cows say 'Moo'?"
Case in point:
" Religious leaders need to use fear of others to stay in power and enrich themselves."
1. Obviously, that's a total crock. Other than a couple nutjob fringe leaders, no religious leaders feel this way. They seek to provide spiritual guidance to their congregation, and help spread the Gospel and meet the needs of the world.
2. That's much more in line with what Democrat leaders do, especially as shown in the last few years. They use fear of white people, fear of cops, fear of conservatives, (As seen here) fear of Christians, fear of supposed "White supremacists" (Which they really just use as a code for anyone who disagrees with them on any issue), and so on in order to gin up votes and increase their own wealth and especially power. Finally, people are starting to wake up to this, especially as liberal pols are becoming increasingly nuttier and more radical (Just look at the Left's new golden child, AOC).
3. As I mentioned in the previous point, that whole DU thread involved exploiting the Left's fear of Christians. Pot, meet kettle.
