They often operate on the "just-world fallacy" too. I.e. if people are poor, starving, arrested, deported, raped, it's because they deserve it.
'Its all part of gods plan sweetie'. Had my mom feed me this line when I wanted to help a homeless person
"Yeah part of Gods plan is me helping him Mother. Now be a good woman and obey like the book says you should."
Sometimes I wish I could do that, just ignore all logic and believe what you want.
So those people starving in Africa? Oh no God's plan.
People getting killed in Gaza? Also God's plan
That Kirk guy getting shot? Evil left, nothing to do with God.
Immigrants trying to find a better life in a different country? The worst people, nothing to do with God.
Aunt Marget died of cancer? Poor Marget, she was just unlucky,
It did not help she had no health insurance? No thats not it, that's communism
But if something bad happens to them, it's because God is "testing them."
Maybe evangelicals who preach the prosperity gospel believe in "just world"? However in the Book of Job it is made pretty clear that doing everything God asks of you doesn't help you at all, and might even be a reason that you get shit on. Jesus repeatedly says that his kingdom is not on earth. Anyway...
