The views of Jesus are now seen as woke and too left/liberal

The first possibly. Simpsons wouldn't have gone near a topic like that 20+ years ago.

My brother moved here about five years ago from Australia, he said this whacko pseudo Christian shit is happening over there too at an alarmingly rapid rate

Not surprising, they'd be ripe for all that bollocks. Plus, they're more racist than the yanks.

Did Eve get stuck in a washing machine?

Book of Indesit:

"Lord I'm in predicament" announced Eve. "I'm stuck in the laundry drum. Naked with my posterior in the air. How will I be able to leave?"

"Fear not Eve, for the lord has given Adam a strong tool to pull you out. It may take a few goes but it will work. You shall know when you're free as the tool will be soft and sodden."

Actually, Billy Graham is partly to blame for the politicisation of evangelicals in the USA. They were largely "other worldly" as in "This world is not my home, I'm only passing through" but Graham was against segregation and came to see the need for Christians to get involved in social justice including making it a political issue. Unfortunately, rather than justice for the poor and doing to others what you have them do to you, the USA got the "prosperity gospel" and a theology that isn't much to do with the Bible (and Christians who think the amoral Trump is a good guy).

“He gave permission to evangelical Christians around the world to be globally minded and engaged.” Along with John Stott, the British theologian, Graham shifted the movement’s focus from saving souls to practicing social justice. In 1974, he and Stott convened a group of evangelical leaders in Lausanne, Switzerland, where they drafted a manifesto that called for a new kind of Christian social responsibility.

Billy Graham’s Striking Gospel of Social Action

Graham was not a progressive, but he fought against cultural strictures and made room for a broad swath of political and religious views.

The Nixon tapes contain a conversation between the president and Graham in which he said he didn’t really believe in god but preaching was a good way to make a living. Of course he may have been playing to his audience, a lifetime’s habit!

That I can't find. The anti-Semitic bits are well trailed.

Yes, I got it from utube some time ago. No idea where though. But I did clearly hear him say what I posted. In a sense it doesn’t matter whether he believed in god. The bishop of London, forget his name, wrote something similar in a book called Honest to God many years ago.
The difference is that the bishop was honest about it, whereas Graham dissembled.

Saw a couple of Mormons the other day. I only ever see them at the train station over here, hanging around on the platform like a couple of awkward pick up artists trying to work out how to approach the next lone woman. And in Malaysia they’ve got the extra fun of having to make sure they don’t accidentally try and convert a Muslim or they could get arrested.

If you can't be bothered to google "Honest to God" to find out it was by the Bishop of Woolwich, John Robinson, I'm afraid I'm not sure I want to rely on your memory of what Graham said about belief / doubt.
