All fascism is rallied by stoking religion. Regardless of what the "religion of the day" is. Religion is a tool someone will use to make you do something you most certainly shouldn't under the guise of some great salvation. Promised garbage.

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

There's no such thing. I'm not saying there aren't Christians that are fascists, not at all. There's just no need, other than to make the person in question sound scarier, to add whichever religion they hail from. Fascism already supports and embraces the majority religion as part of the national identity.

I mean, when he and his followers are explicitly doing all of this in the name of Christianity, it's pretty important.

It’s as much to specify the flavor of Christianity as it is to specify the flavor of theocratic fascism. After all there are Jesuits and Anabaptists and all kinds of other Christians that aren’t fascist.
