I’ve seen a type of flat earther that - at least as far as I can’t tell - aren’t anti-Semitic. Instead they get into it because they take biblical literalism very seriously. The Bible does imply that the earth is flat and tbh I don’t think that believing the earth is flat is a lot crazier than thinking Noah’s flood was a real, global event as described in the Bible.
It feels like there’s a segment of evangelicalism that’s getting even more serious about biblical literalism. I’ve even seen an emerging “slavery is good, actually” thought among them. Because the Bible absolutely condones slavery and the excuse of “well God allowed the Israelites to do it because everyone else around them did too, and it was normal at the time” has more holes in it than Swiss cheese.
They also pull a lot from evangelical theology and congregations. Surprise surprise.
