chosen.content: Despite Donald Trump's public declarations of lack of faith, some fundamentalist Christians still support him because they agree with his conservative political views. As the Bible teaches that it is the duty of the government to enforce morality, many of them agree with Trump's agenda. Many are also enticed by the judges he has appointed who are considered "anti-abortion" justices. His staunch stance on nationalism and America first also helps to endear him to this group of voters. Lastly, although Trump's rhetoric and personal behavior does not align with their beliefs, they look past this and see him as a vehicle of change and someone who is willing to battle the current state of cultural and political correctness.

rejected.content: Fundamentalist Christians largely view Donald Trump as a cultural and moral conservative and, as a result, have decided to largely overlook his lack of religious adherence and lack of respect for their values and beliefs. Even though he has openly broken many of the traditional “red-meat” conservative positions, the fundamentalists still support him based on the strength of his perceived moral commitments, such as nominating conservative judges, protecting America’s borders, and standing against political correctness. They believe that these positions represent the values that they hold dear and that the consequences of not voting for Trump outweigh any theological shortcomings. Further, many of them are of the belief that God has ordained Trump for this moment in history, so they are following his lead despite their initial reservations. By casting their vote for Trump, these Christians are attempting to protect the conservative culture they so deeply value, as well as their own moral lives, which are under siege in areas such as LGBTQ rights. Even though he is not a conservative “in name only”, Trump serves to protect their religious liberties, something fundamentalist Christians feel may be lost if Hillary Clinton is elected.
