Swaggart, Hagee, and the like might fit somewhere more in the more-clearly purple part of the circle.

These folks have no connection to the purple sector. Osteen might be a moderate blue whose prosperity gospel would put him near the yellow line. But just being religious doesn't put one in the blue sector. The blue sector is a political program of putting religion in charge of the state. I don't know Osteen's political views. He seems non-political. Hagee fits; he is a political evangelist. Not so sure about Swaggert.
