I'd join the circle but, mine are just plain horrible racists(like most brits...)...though they're athiest. I miss the criteria :(

Mostly the same here with my parents.

Like they'll occasionally pull out random biblespeak just to justify some of the conservative shit they spew but they haven't been to church or cracked a bible in years and everybody knows it

Some people are just happier when they have something to hate.  If there's a CLEAR ENEMY that they can FOCUS THEIR HATRED ON so that they forget/don't realize their own lives are miserable, they end up joining various social groups that propagate that belief system (in this case right wing christianity) simply out of comfort. 
....Ha! Did you forget already? In my world, the color red doesn't exist.  These must be... my tears.  Ever since I woke up from my coma... ...I think I've been waiting for this very moment.  You'd do well to remember this, Maya. The only time a lawyer can cry is when it's all over.

(I'll switch this link to a GW thread URL as soon as I've moved all my junk over)

while I think there is certainly more to this conundrum than that, it sure as shit seems like what you said is true sometimes
