The "Christians" who take the Bible literally actually do believe that globalism is evil. But that's what happens when your religious texts were written first by nomads, then by a civilization that regularly got conquered, and finally a cult that was persecuted by the Romans.

No, the "Christians" who oppose trade clearly have never even read the Bible, or even just the New Testament. Jesus spent a lot of time telling people to love the stranger, the traveler, and the alien. To treat a foreigner in your land as kindly as you would your brother. Modern Republicans have completely abandoned the teaching of the actual historical Jesus.

That's now considered socialist and/or weak by these people. Not my words, they've says this to their own pastors. They're not Christians in anything but name and self-delusionment.

Globalism IS evil. The rightards just care about it as much as the nazis cared about socialism.

Globalism is such a weasel word. Esperanto-speaking cosmopolitans and tax-dodging capitalists are usually not the same. Then again, the far-right demonized even Esperanto back in the past century and might do it again if people took it seriously.

Yea I think of globalism as a synonym for globalization, global markets, sweatshops, this kind of things.
