Survey: Donald Trump has been literally causing people to leave Christianity

6. It's a logical fallacy

To dismiss a message because of the message-giver (and I'm saying this as an atheist). So the Gospel should stand or fall on its own (or lack of) merits, and not the Christians pushing the message, but it's also an understandable reaction. Religious conservatives have been shoving their morality down our throat for generations, and then they not just back but eagerly back one of the worst people in the world because he gives them permission to openly hate. They go so far as to claim he's anointed by God, do stupid numerology routines with his being the 45th president, and run away from being upset when he does anything that they would attack a democratic president over. Belief in Christianity has fallen to around 64% of the American population, and Nones have leapfrogged past both Evangelicals and Catholics (both at 20% of the population), more than doubling their numbers from 2013/2014 of 14% to 28% now.

I watch and read a lot religious apologists and media, and they constantly come up with excuse after excuse for this phenomenon. I often tell them if they want to see the reason, it's as easy as looking in the bathroom mirror.
