Beth, and that’s rub many Evangelicals don’t get. Sin is sin. God doesn’t rank them; men do; and as such Men take on the mantle of God in such decision making. I’m pretty sure that was not the plan of the God Evangelicals worship
Such self-righteous glee and condemnation over the misfortune of the powerless. And always against the woman (or girl), never the other party who must never be named.
I think the majority of US bishops are republicans bc their “pre-eminent” issue has been abortion (even when the pope and others reminded them there are MANY important issues). And a few loudmouths are mad at Pelosi (woman in power, dem) and Biden for “supporting” abortion (confused with I will not impose my belief system on the country (see, for example, Alito and Thomas)).
Yes and it is not the fascist Christian Nationalism. Read some of the posts by Mormon Women for Ethic Gov. Many of their statements etc are well written & not rabid R propaganda. I am not LDS & dont adhere to their beliefs however I think that we share concerns over some of the same issues.
I know the majority of the people I know who voted for him are or were raised Catholic. Abortion being the greatest sin ever.
Most evangelicals claim that they hate sin. My smart Trump friends are wealthy and don’t want to be taxed “to support lazy people.”

Actually, surveys show Catholics are quite divided about Trump. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2016/02/23/u-s-religious-groups-and-their-political-leanings/
FWIW, the most Republican leaning church affiliation is Mormon, according to Pew research.

I think you are right on.
Excellent assessment.
In Whitehead & Perry's book & based on the Brennan Center research, the LDS as a Christian Church was less likely to adhere to Christian Nationalism.
Carole, the LDS has it's own in-house white male nationalism.
