After former President Donald Trump gave his victory speech early Wednesday, at the Palm Beach Convention Center, dozens of his supporters gathered in a lobby to sing “How Great Thou Art,” reciting from memory the words and harmonies of a classic hymn, popular among evangelical Christians.

It was a fitting coda to an election in which Trump once again won the support of about 8 in 10 white evangelical Christian voters, according to AP VoteCast, a sweeping survey of more than 120,000 voters. That margin — among a group that represented about 20% of the total electorate — repeats similarly staggering margins of evangelical support that T rump received in 2020.

    I hope religion continues its slow death in America. Forcing your beliefs on people doesn’t help.

      I was an agnostic when I was 12-years-old. “Christians” have made me an atheist.

      Maybe that’s their goal. Playing 5-D checkers there.

      It’s not actually about religion at all anymore.
