Quote:to match the national population, we find that among weekly attending whites, over 60% agree that “Donald Trump was anointed by God to become President of the United States.”
Fully 90% of ardent Christian nationalists believe Trump was anointed by God. And worship attendance plays little role in differentiating Christian nationalists. Once they adopt this worldview conflating their religion with the state, they become firmly committed to Trump’s Republican Party. This helps reinforce the idea that Christian nationalism is no general, civil religion-style worldview; it has been stoked specifically to deify God’s Own Party and Trump in particular.

Young, idealistic Christians are disgusted by the fact that the majority of their church is so accepting of a serial adulterer, pathological liar and extreme narcissist. When 90% of your church loves the guy and you are disgusted by him, you can feel uncomfortable and unwelcomed in the congregation. As a consequence, they simply stop attending church.
