Correct. They rationalize that it benefits them financially to do so.

Morality, or ethics, or any other sort of woke stuff like that is pushed aside to meet the objective.
In some cases. In others, Christians who want a Christian government or an absolute prohibition on abortion may see themselves as more moral than their lefty fellow Americans.

Never.

People can worship however the hell, but we ain't going down that road. It is scary to tell people that we are though.
