I read an article at an American History magazine talking about evangelical christian's antistatist roots and how it is rooted in the 1930s with their belief that FDR was a fulfillment of the prophecy of the antichrist and how many of the leading evangelists were strong critics of FDR and supported his opponents.
But looking at election returns from the 30s and 40s, many of the evangelical areas of the country heavily supported Roosevelt. It seems that the only areas with a large number of evangelicals that opposed him were mostly isolated: Northern OK, Southwest Missouri, East Tennessee, Southern Kentucky and random foothill counties in Virginia and North Carolina. Most of the other areas in the bible belt supported Roosevelt, and by landslide margins too.
