I hadn't heard anything about evangelicals viewing FDR as the antichrist. Maybe some did, but I don't think it was widespread. Evangelicals did not typically vote as a bloc until fairly recently. You had issues such as Prohibition that cut across party lines, as abortion did before the 1980s. Tendencies to oppose a strong central government in the areas of the Upper South you mentioned may have a connection to evangelicalism in the type of local, independent church communities as opposed to more established high church traditions on the Coast or to the North. Evangelicalism took different forms in different regions, and at points has been strong in the Midwest and even in the Northeast - with political attitudes that different widely from one region to another.
