Tump and the Evangelicals [View all]

Maybe I'm crazy, but I believe that the election, and Trump's antics, has done more to increase the population of "nones" than anything imaginable. The extent to which Evangelicals have gone to rationalize Trump's behavior has been revealing, even causing lots of the hardcore faithful to recoil and re-think. At the very least, I think that the Franklin Grahams, et al, are losing their political influence.
