The right will lose as long as they are a fragmented group of religious people who believe in different religions. Protestants, Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Mormons, Pagans, and Jews cannot unite under "conservative religious values," because how can you take any of their beliefs seriously when they all contradict each other. Either the religion is true or it is not. If it is not, then what the right wing believes are LARPs and cannot be taken seriously. If the religion is true, then only one religion is true. They cannot unite under different religions, even different sects of Christianity, when the denominations have vastly different beliefs.
Catholicism has perhaps the greatest claim of being the “one true faith,” as Protestant sects are all off-shoots of the Catholic Church. So the US right wing can potentially unite as Catholics—except the US was founded by Protestants, the descendants of whom still hold strong anti-papist views. But Protestantism cannot be the uniting force because it is too fractured. The US would need to unite under one Protestant faith.
We could just all become Mormons, as that is the most “American” of religions. But that would be a bridge too far for many Christians who view Mormonism as blatant heresy. The best bet may be forming a new American Orthodox Church that combines the best elements of Catholicism, Protestantism, and Eastern Orthodoxy.
An American Orthodox Church would have the history and tradition of Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, while also having the decentralized anti-papalism of Eastern Orthodoxy and Protestantism. But unlike EO, it would also have the Western, Anglo, and American culture of Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. I know there is the OCA (Orthodox Church in America), but that is still too “Eastern.” This would be something new (or old but new). If there is one American Orthodox Christian Church with core tenets that all Americans on the right believe—truly believe (not fake-believe like Mormons)—then, and only then can the right defeat the left.
The US was founded as a general Christian nation with various sects, who all held the same core Christian tenets. Some would like to return to that “mere Christianity,” but the inevitable doom of that system was sewn from its inception. It's been a slow but steady decay in faith til today. The left (the anti-Christian subversives) will attack and destroy all holes in the conservative Christian foundation. And if all the various religious sects believe wildly different things, there are many “holes” in Christian conservatism to attack. To prevent that, Christians must unite under the same beliefs, the same one True faith.
Protestantism led to woke, not necessarily because of any specific puritan beliefs or flaws in Christianity, but because of the core nature of Protestantism—of protesting the hierarchy of the pope and forming your own church. As long as Protestants believe in “sola scriptura,” of individuals being able to interpret the Bible themselves, then people can rationalize beliefs for anything. That idea laid the seeds for wokeness. I like Redeemed Zoomer, but Protestant Christians have no leg to stand on when saying progressive Christians are wrong to think the church should support LGBT stuff. Wrong according to who? If the Bible is open to interpretation, they can interpret Jesus to be pro-trans.
To prevent that, you need a central authority, either a pope or archbishop. The problem with the Catholic Church is that the Pope often agrees with the left and actually works against the aims of the right. The US needs an American Orthodox Christian church with an American archbishop at the head. Only he can unite all Americans on the right to defeat the hydra of the left.
