I'm pretty sure this ain't gonna be good for religion.
Politics have already corrupted the evangelicals and the fundamentalists. Having the religious folks stray even further from their piety in search of votes will count as a 'win' for atheism.
I think "Citizen's United" could be cited as a precedent of sorts, so Trump or not, the rule was quite likely to be found unconstitutional at some point regardless.
LOL, I've read enough of Ehrman by now to not be much impressed with any argument made from the Christer camp about anything these days. I had been of the mindset that while still false, Christianity as a whole was going to be better thought out than Mormonism.
Boy was I wrong about that !!
If the US Christers want to embrace politics, it is just one more way they have of dividing themselves further.
First Church of Jesus Christ Repentance Democrat , of Canton Ohio, anyone ?
As atheists, we have many things of greater import to concern ourselves with.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
