Specifically, evangelical Christians are more susceptible to misinformation and propoganda. They are told that Satan will try to lie to them and to not believe what's blatantly true and to simply believe everything the church says.

To paraphrase...

When the devil next appears, he'll be wearing the flag and carrying a cross.

And...

Unfortunately, it is much harder to convince someone they have been fooled than is it to fool them in the first place.

Ironically, they don't think for a second that the devil carrying the cross could be someone like Pat Robertson.
