Ending many of his rallies with a churchlike ritual and casting his prosecutions as persecution, the former president is demanding — and receiving — new levels of devotion from Republicans.
Why would you claim them not to be Christians? They seem very clearly Christian to me. I can’t really see a non “no true scotsman” reason to say they aren’t, and especially that they never was.
The really funny thing is that the Evangelical Christians say that atheists like me worship ourselves, or money, or pleasure.

“Thou shalt not worship false idols”, it’s like number three and/or four of the basic rules of Christianity.
I think they need to reevaluate the definition of “worship”
It’s #1 lol.
It’s #1 and #2. But don’t worry, the Trumpies have broken the other eight as well.
Then that’s more egregious. But I guess at this point they are just guidelines?
“Rules for thee but not for me” you can bet they’d be screeching about worshipping false idols if the Dems treated Biden the same way.
These clowns aren’t Christian and never have been

I can’t think of anyone more like a Golden Calf than Trump
Did we all forget about this literal golden idol that Republicans had been worshipping at CPAC?
I tried to. I tried to forget.
