The influence of Christianity has declined in America in recent years, but a Gallup poll published in March showed that 68% of Americans still identify as Christian. In 2020, 71% of white Americans who attended church regularly voted for Trump. In 2016, white evangelicals made up one fifth of all voters ' and they overwhelmingly supported Trump over Hillary Clinton (77% to 16%). According to the Pew Research Center, 85% of white evangelicals favor the GOP in 2024. In recent years, many evangelical voters have moved from backing a particular candidate or party into Christian nationalism. (Christianity Today defines Christian nationalism as the "belief that the American nation is defined by Christianity, and that the government should take active steps to keep it that way.")

North Carolina event, Guillermo Maldonado, a pastor from Miami and longtime Trump ally, told attendees this election wasn't just about American politics. |
