      Problem here is that you seem to think (or assume others think) that religion is something other than a means to con dupes into giving up power and money. It’s pliable as fuck. It means nothing; it’s merely a means to an end.

      There are a significant number of American Christians that have worked Trump into the religion.

      Many prophesied his election victory, fueled insanity when this did not happen, culminating in… basically he is a kind of messiah, not literally Jesus, but doing his work, and he must do it before Jesus comes back.

          As an ex Christian raised in a fundamentalist household who is now Atheist…

          He fits extremely well into the common rapture/antichrist narrative that I was raised in.

            I grew up in that world too and he is exactly what those assholes used to rant and rave about while describing their Antichrist. Its funny how that turned out but I can’t say I’m surprised, they are really shitty people.
