Fuck The Holy: Faithful InAction's Limp Dick Play

You know what really grinds my gears: When billionaire tech bros co-opt Christianity to build their own personal political army, turning Sunday sermons into voter registration drives for their authoritarian wet dreams.

The Gospel According to Silicon Valley

Here's what keeps me awake at night: the stench of manipulation wafting from a seemingly innocent organization called "Faithful in Action," incorporated in 2023 in Cheyenne, Wyoming—a state chosen not for its spiritual significance, but for its corporate-friendly laws that let dark money flow like wine at the Last Supper.

"I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires." - Susan B. Anthony

This isn't your grandmother's church social committee. Faithful in Action, with Chris Buskirk as president, claims over 160,000 members and exists to "recruit churchgoers into political activism"—a sanitized way of saying they're weaponizing faith to advance a specific political agenda. The organization operates as one tentacle of the sprawling Rockbridge Network, a "centrally controlled network of right-wing political groups backed by some of the same deep-pocketed tech investors" who bankrolled JD Vance's political rise.

The political implications here reek of manipulation so thick you could cut it with communion bread. Rockbridge operates with a "roughly $75 million budget for 2024" and oversees groups focused on "financing right-wing investigative reporting, underwriting polls, turning out voters in battleground states and spurring churchgoers into political activism". This isn't grassroots organizing—it's astroturf painted with holy water.

"In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

What we're witnessing is the systematic co-optation of American Christianity by tech oligarchs who view faith communities as untapped voter mines. Rockbridge membership costs between $100,000 and $1 million, meaning only the ultra-wealthy get to pull the strings while everyday believers become unwitting foot soldiers in someone else's political crusade.

The psychological implications of this manipulation run deeper than a baptismal font. When you blend religious devotion with political activism, you create a psychological cocktail more potent than communion wine. Religious communities are built on trust, shared values, and collective identity—exactly the psychological vulnerabilities that political operatives salivate over.

"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." - Benjamin Franklin

Faithful in Action exploits the natural human tendency to seek meaning and community through faith, then redirects that spiritual energy toward specific political outcomes. It's psychological manipulation dressed in Sunday best. The organization targets people who already gather regularly, share fundamental beliefs, and trust their religious leadership—creating a ready-made infrastructure for political influence.

But here's where the comedy turns dark: these tech titans are so disconnected from actual religious communities that they think faith can be packaged and delivered like a software update. They've created an organization that claims to represent the faithful while being funded by people who probably haven't seen the inside of a church since their last wedding invitation.

The philosophical implications here should terrify anyone who values authentic spiritual expression. We're witnessing the commodification of faith itself—the reduction of centuries-old religious traditions to voter acquisition strategies. As one critic noted, this represents "state capture, the process by which private interests take control of public institutions for their own benefit".

This raises fundamental questions about the nature of authentic religious practice versus manufactured political movements. When faith becomes a tool for advancing specific policy agendas, does it remain faith at all? Or does it transform into something else entirely—a spiritual-flavored political product designed to generate specific electoral outcomes?

Who the Fuck Are They:

The Grim Statistics:

1. EIN Number: 93-1558726 (another tax-exempt puppet in the political theater)

2. Legal Name: The Faithful in Action (because "Religious Political Manipulation Inc." was apparently too honest)

3. Incorporation Location: Cheyenne, Wyoming, 2023 (Wyoming - the Delaware of dark money operations)

4. President: Chris Buskirk (tech bro turned faith-based political puppeteer)

5. Claimed Membership: Over 160,000 churchgoers (allegedly recruited into political activism)

6. Parent Network: Rockbridge Network (the conservative political venture capital firm)

7. 2023 Total Revenue: $180,000 (fiscal year ending December 2023)

8. Grant Funding: $0 documented (but funded through Rockbridge's web of organizations)

9. Program Services Revenue: $0 (because they don't actually provide services, just political theater)

10. Membership Dues: $0 (free to join the manipulation machine)

11. Investment Income: $0 (they're spending, not investing)

12. Tax Form Filed: 990EZ (the short form for smaller operations)

13. Primary Purpose: Recruiting churchgoers into political activism (spiritual voter harvesting)

14. Rockbridge Network Budget: $75 million for 2024 (the real money behind the curtain)

15. Public Transparency: Zero websites, minimal public footprint (shadowy as Satan's asshole)

The most fucking infuriating detail? They operate with the transparency of a black hole while claiming to represent the faithful - people who supposedly value honesty, integrity, and moral accountability above political gamesmanship.

The Verdict from the Pews

The rise of Faithful in Action represents more than just another political organization—it's a symptom of democracy's decay. When billionaires can purchase religious movements like they're acquiring startups, we've crossed a line that should make every person of genuine faith sick to their stomach.

Rockbridge's ultimate goal is to "build a political coalition that will win national elections with 55% of the popular vote"—not through persuasion or authentic grassroots organizing, but through the systematic manipulation of religious communities. They're not interested in serving God; they're interested in playing God with the American political system.

The most damning aspect of this entire operation is its secrecy. As Reuters reported, "none of the Rockbridge groups had their own websites or much of a public footprint". Real faith-based organizations don't hide in shadows—they operate in the light, transparent about their funding, leadership, and goals.

What we're left with is a sobering reality: while genuine believers gather in churches across America seeking spiritual connection and moral guidance, tech oligarchs are calculating how to convert their prayers into votes, their tithes into political power, and their sacred communities into electoral machinery. It's enough to make you pray for something resembling actual democracy—if you still believe anyone up there is listening.
