Not to mention the generally anemic singing habits/talents of white vs black churches...
That might be racist.
Do white evangelicals ever preach on salvation? Honest question.
I would say "yes" and almost to a fault. This is how/why QAnon has infiltrated their congregations. This is why their congregations are practicing racists. When they preach biblical application, it is on a very narrow spectrum and rarely delves into social justice/behavior. When is the last time you heard "The Bible says 'Love you neighbor as yourself.' Black people are our neighbors. What does loving them look like? Would it be loving to remove the racist systems in this country?" from an evangelical pulpit? The focus is on saving people almost exclusively, but not biblical application in a social context.
I’m not sure if infiltrating is the correct word. Weird conspiracies have long been a part of churches. This is just the latest one and it’s specifically connected to a political figure.

You mean to tell me that the folks who told me when I was a kid that AIDS was a plague from God because it only impacts gays and drug users might not have been the most well researched intellectuals in Eastern NC?
I just gotta say that "Participation Trophy Wife" is a spectacular joke

The entire premise of religion is based on believing things that cannot be independently confirmed through observation or experimentation. It is not at all surprising that people who make religion a core part of their persona would be prone to adopt new baseless beliefs that cannot be independently confirmed with observation or experimentation.
