The Religious Right--of which Graham has become the chief spokesperson--has nothing much to do with religion. It's just a big business, and its business is hate. And for Graham, business has never been better (nor more profitable). He goes out of his way to express this hatred in new ways whenever he can. Very "innovative". Kind of the Steve Jobs of hate.
It's almost comical to see him act out his pseudo-morality. Moral absolutism for LGBTQ, moral relativism for Trump and the rest of the right-wing hate brigade. Graham can't even get his own beliefs right.
In short, he has become a pretty disgusting human being. If there is any positive use for the guy, it's that he's so obviously on the wrong side of morality, history, and politics, that he is a useful gauge to know where the right side is.
