The way that American conservatives use religion without really believing anything in it is an aberration throughout most of human history.
The Bible teaches them to believe their rulers are ordained by God, American conservatives are in lock step with the Bible regarding leadership. They are not consistent with all of the Bible, but they are certainly consistent with the Bible in this regard.
In short, the reason why Trump is President was because God ordained it. This has been used by many rulers all over the globe for centuries, long before America was ever founded.
Also, I was raised by conservatives, and I can’t speak for every one in the USA, but I can tell you that many are true believers.
