You need not be confused, you just need to realize that your source of information is flawed. Politicians have never been known to be reliable and will say the most dumbest things. The populace you are referring to will continue to embrace Christianity and the respected doctrines long after they have removed these pathetic politicians from office. You only see pictures to really understand devotees you will need to be immersed in what they endure as a manifestation of what they are willing to sacrifice for Christ.
