In Trump, Evangelicals have found a candidate who allows to foment hate, all in the name of God, writes Donovan McAbee.
Republican presidential candidate, former U.S. President Donald Trump, speaks at the Faith and Freedom Road to Majority conference on June 24, 2023 in Washington, D.C. Trump spoke on a range of topics to an audience of conservative evangelical Christians.hen I step into the voting booth next week, I will participate in making my voice heard on local, state, and federal issues that range from a local transit tax, all the way to who will represent me in the U.S.
But as a Christian, the bigger threat in the U.S. now seems to be Evangelical idolatry—this tendency of many Christians to turn a political candidate into an idol, particularly one who has proven himself so thoroughly unfit as Donald Trump. I find this notion of Christians in the U.S. being an embattled group to be absurd. This lie is an old and often used rallying cry for rightwing Christians, insistent on stoking the flames of a culture war.
In my own imperfect attempts to understand and practice my faith, I’ve come to believe that the beauty and healing power of the Christian story is that we believe in a God who draws near to the hurting, the suffering, the immigrant, and the marginalized.
