tech bros worship is a matter of free will, and even they know the kegsbreth dominionist crowd are temporary and likely scattered when the millions more of good will replace them in years ahead. This is a long game that even a four year window of grift won't beat. (Privatizer oligarchs are spiritually and materially outnumbered.) What the pope and church see is that in the end, all things work to the good for those who love God, no matter their faith path on Earth. I'm pretty sure that on some level even tech bros know they'll be better off deciding to work for the common good of humanity and their own descendants.
