non church goers elected President Trump
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/...-to-trump/
Interesting fact filled article on President Trump's support. It turns out one of the strongest variables in Trump's support in the Republican primaries was how often people went to church. Trump did worst in the most religious counties and best where people did not regularly go to church.
"...The secularization of America is eroding trust. The elites’ replacements for church are strong public schools, country clubs, travel sports teams, and so on. The working class and middle class, it seems, lack those secular institutions of civil society, particularly after the core institution, church, dries up.
It’s got to be a bitter irony for the secular Left. They cheered as they saw Americans turning away from church. But when Middle America turned away from church, they were missing something. And they sought it in Trump."
