But the teachings are valid. They're just not how I see the world.

Evangelicals use it to justify anti-immigrant fear/politics, violence toward non-believers & political opponents, banning books re the Holocaust & US history of slavery, + more. See below re immigrants to the US (clear per comments)

And sad... the paranoia and fear that some people have for those who are different than them, when they could actually learn so much.

But the reverse of xenophobia is also true: white nationalists hate Natives, blacks whose families have been here for centuries, etc., etc..
