"Evangelicals Sacrificing The Future In Search Of The Past?"

[fivethirtyeight.com]

A good piece on this subject.
This group in a way affects all of us. They control the Republican Party, and hence we get the likes of Bush and Trump.

"But in longing for an American past, white evangelical Protestant may be neglecting their future. As a group, they’re drifting further away — politically and culturally — from the American mainstream. There are growing signs that white evangelical Protestantism is no longer immune to the broader social and cultural forces that are reshaping the American religious landscape."

I have to say, as a non American, the hypocrisy of this group supporting Trump is breathtaking.

I for one am glad to see the younger generations showing more free will and leaving behind these very controlling religions. I for one am NOT a Trump supporter. I am all for making him a lameduck president and then voting him out. Our entire political system is in need of a shake up, we desperately need to impose term limits on our congressmen.

I don't even believe it is the American past, they are after...it is some BIBLICAL alllusion. They are now living IN the Bible! Somewhat, like a child puts themselves, INTO a fairytale!

I'm not surprised, but it's still aways before they become extinct.

Older evangelicals are supporting trump. They are more anti LGBTQ community, anti-abortion and socially divisive. Far from mainstream America they are losing milennials and decreasing in number.

This is a very interesting article and offers some grounds for cautious optimism.
