If top-down evil is true and significant in this world... Why ever-more Christians fail the accumulating Litmus Tests

If it is acknowledged (or believed) that top-down evil - purposive evil originating global, multinational, and national institutional level ("The Establishment") - is a real and significant phenomenon - then various implications follow. 

But it is clear that not many people, including not many Christians, really believe in top-down evil. 

Or else regard it as insignificant - otherwise they would not think, speak, write and behave in the ways they do - all of which assume that the most powerful, wealthy, influential and high status levels of society are basically well-intended. 

This is why the Litmus Tests mostly work as a method of discernment, and why they cluster - so that failure in one Test (including emerging Tests; such as the Birdemic, the peck, "AI") is associated with - and leads to - failure in other Tests. 

My opinion is that the weakness in Christians, their cumulative proneness to fail Litmus Tests as they emanate from The Establishment; is related to their faith being primarily in their church as an institution - in the 2025 context of a totalitarian world where all institutions are strongly inter-linked.
