I think that this is generally a mistake in understanding both groups. The reason I think they get mixed together is that so many Christians are Trump supporters and there is of course the idea that both groups are a steeped in a belief system that primarily relies on their "faith" in things they are being told that have no available facts or data to support these beliefs. 

However, I think that the part of Q and whatever Christians fall into the QAnon cult that needs to be the primary focus are the ones that lean toward potential violence to achieve whatever the outcome is they desire. 

These people make-up the domestic terror group that are likely to harm or kill people and to create the sort of havoc we saw on January 6. And here is the thing, it is a diverse group and they are receiving funds from foreign sources. Probably most QAnon supporters and members/believers don't even know that the Q thing is being supported by foreign money and influencers. They believe "Q" is some person or persons inside US military intelligence. This completely stinks of Putin and always has and likely working with other foreign bad actors that want to create mayhem in the US and our government. 

So, I would break the Q thing up into subsets based mostly upon how extreme they are. You have the general sitting at home reading stuff on the internet or watching Right Wing media group that have no intention to act on what they see and hear but they believe it. The most dangerous aspect of these people is they will likely cast votes to support Q nuts running for public office. This is lousy and results in Marjorie Green type scum getting elected and works in the favor of people like Putin. 

Then there are the people that will go out and take part in a protest or attend a rally but have no intention to take part in violent activity. They just want their voices, no matter how absurd the things they are saying, to be heard. 

However, then we move to the subset that includes the militias, the gangs like Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters, Patriot Prayer, etc, that are armed, intent on doing harm, and do vocally threaten violence. In all honesty, some/a lot of these people may be Christians but that really does not matter. These are organized groups receiving shady funds, bad information likely also being pumped in by foreign influencers, that are designed to be the tip of the spear in a domestic terror movement. Here we have a serious problem.

About the only good news I can provide on these people is a lot of them appear to be pretty stupid. However, that does not mean they should be taken lightly as an idiot with a weapon, bomb, gun, car, whatever, can kill a lot of people if they commit to doing so. 

I can't say how many of this subset actually exist. I think we have the camp that wants to downplay them and say it is a small group and the camp that wants to say they are a much bigger group or just think the entire 74 million people that voted for Trump are all in on this. 

I have felt for a long time that it is a probably less than a third of Trump supporters that actually have the potential to turn full on domestic terrorist. I think that if you look at that, the number that we probably have to really have concern over would be somewhere between 20-22 million people. That is both ridiculous and scary. It also presents a massive problem in terms of protecting our country, our government, and our way of life.

My hope would be there would be far less than 20 million people that supported Trump that want to turn on our country but there is and has been an intense effort to radicalize our citizens by foreign influencers going on for a long time. What we saw with Trump's election and how his presidency ended, and how elected Republicans and Republican party officials have acted is that this campaign to radicalize that party and voters HAS WORKED.

This is not a good sign. There are people of all walks of life that have now been radicalized and are fully invested in this madness. There was just a Trump State department official with a top security clearance arrested for taking part in the January 6 terror attack on our capitol. Police officers, elected Republicans, business people, Republican party officials, military personnel, career bureaucrats have all been shown to have fallen prey to this dangerous nonsense. 

The most chilling thing a Trump supporter ever said to me, the thing that really made me think, was not about how Trump was some tool of the almighty doing god's work...it was that Trump was the first elected president that was willing to completely destroy our government and our country so we would need to completely start over. He was thrilled that Trump was so willing to blow us up. The frightening part of it was that it was so goddamn true and essentially logical...in that if there was a legitimate reason to support a moron like Donald Trump that was it. I don't think this guy was some sort of outlier either, I think he represents a significant number of Trump supporters...and likely of that potentially violent 20 million people that may be willing to turn full domestic terrorist. 

I think it is one thing for some guy sitting at home that has to go out and work a job, come home and read stuff on the internet, watch FOX News, One America, Newsmax or whatever, to believe some of this garbage about the election being stolen from Trump...because that's what he is being fed. It's a different thing entirely to have Ron Johnson, Matt Gaetz, Ted Cruz, Mo Brooks, Jim Jordan, and all these lying clowns that all know this is total bullshit spew this stuff nonstop. 

I understand why they are doing it. Basically they absolutely would be totally screwed if their supporters suddenly woke up and realized how much they have been being lied to so it makes more sense to them to perpetuate the lie. They now NEED to keep their supporters confused and in the dark to continue to get their votes. 

The Republican party no longer even has a platform. They don't have policy or anything to sell to their voters. Their entire pitch to their voters now is all rubbish. They spew crap about Mister Potato Head and Dr. Seuss and bury them in "whataboutism" so they never have to talk about anything that has to do with the real world and the real issues. 

AND THIS WORKS!

Particularly in the time of social media. 

The Q thing is ridiculous but consider that the people falling into the Q trap have been being fed decades of nonsense. They were ready for Q.
