Those kinds of churches very much do not preach acceptance for all people. They’re more into the philosophy “if you’re not with us you’re against us.”
Here’s a 19th century song that was popular in a very conservative church of Christ where I attended as a teenager:
Onward Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
Christ, the royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See, His banners go!
At the name of Jesus
Satan’s host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers,
On to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver
At the shout of praise:
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise!
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus,
Going on before.
There is a long list of people who are unacceptable in the eyes of conservative evangelicals; they label anything they hate or don’t understand as “satanic” and make convenient excuses as to why the Bible agrees with them.

My favorite thing is when they call Catholics things like “pagan”, LOL.
