In Trump We Trust: Religious Right On Crusade to Make Their Man President

THE GUARDIAN: America’s evangelicals sense a chance to impose a radical agenda and resist what they see as a tide of liberal secularism

God’s army is on the march. And many of its foot soldiers are wearing “Make America great again” regalia, sensing that their unlikely standard bearer, former US president Donald Trump, is once again close to the promised land.

“I do not believe that America can survive another four years of Joe Biden,” Ralph Reed, founder and chair of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, told a gathering of the religious right in Washington on Friday. “I haven’t felt this way since Jimmy Carter was president.” The audience burst into knowing laughter.

Reed promised they would knock on 10m doors of Christian and conservative voters in every battleground state, make 10m phone calls, send 25m text messages and put 30m voter guides in 113,000 churches, producing “the biggest turnout of Christian voters in American history”. » | David Smith in Washington | Saturday, June 22, 2024

Christ Almighty! Which version of Christianity do these dimwits follow? Considering a man as leader of their group, a man who allegedly worshipped "pussy", is hardly a suitable man to follow in order to establish God's kingdom on earth! These nincompoops need to take stock! – © Mark Alexander
