104. "The majority of Christian voters in the US cast their ballots for Trump in 2016"

Sun Jun 26, 2022, 08:42 AM

Um no.

Given that 65% of Americans (per a 2021 Pew Study) self-identified as "Christian", that means the majority religion in the U.S. is "Christian".

So regardless of which party they voted for, the "majority" of the voters for either candidate would have been "Christian" just due to sheer numbers among the electorate.
