(36,212 posts)I had no idea, either. Just googled it.
And get this. There are over 120 million mainline Protestants, with 3/4 of the nation identifying as Christian. What percentage of any of them still voted for Trump. The referendum was on the validation of what he did in their name, no matter how un-Christian. It's a real eye opener. Even more surprising to me is that the Church of the Latter Day Saints is reported as the fastest growing denomination.
Of course, millions of mainline Protestants along with Catholics, Jews and every other religion probably voted against the occupant. Maybe the polls have been wrong because polls don't quite hit their issues. I don't really know.
But I'm pretty sure we'd do well to consider the differences between the cult, Trumpism and Trump voters. Making up 71 million of the electorate, they can't just be called one thing.
The weirdest group, to me, are the Independent voters who number 950,274 in battlegrounds, and 1,948,594 in non-battlegrounds. I'd love to see an opinion poll from them, which could also reveal some outlier folk, if not cultish.
