80% of White Evangelicals voted for Donald Trump against Hillary Clinton AND Barack Obama's legacy.
That's right. I'm talking about the same "family values" voters who were staunch supporters of a once-divorced B-list Hollywood actor who was estranged from a couple of his kids and rarely attended church services himself, an elite Ivy League family intimately tied to the Saudi Arabian ruling class (you know, the same crowd who brought us RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM e.g. Osama bin Laden and most of the 9/11 hijackers along with wealthy donors to all of the viciously, murderously aggressive groups like al-Qaeda, ISIS, etc.), along with one Republican Speaker of the House who divorced two of his wives (one of which he cheated on while she was suffering from cancer, IIRC) and another who turned out to be a child sex offender. And as for Trump...do I REALLY need to explain this one? 
For the relentless Republican opposition to President Barack Obama and his administration from the moment he was elected (or rather, the moment he was nominated) it really says something that there was never any kind of personal, family-related, marriage or sex scandal surrounding President Obama or any member of his family. Since they couldn't go down that route like they did for Bill Clinton, they just flat-out rejected our first Black President (who TR, was ALL Americans' President, - whether they accepted that fact or not), seeking to de-legitimize him in every which way, using thinly veiled (if that) racism and racist insinuations that he wasn't "legitimate" or that he wasn't "really American." And the man who - above all others - ranted and raved on and on with those disgusting, revolting, and utterly SHAMEFUL and deeply racist accusations - who launched and built his contemporary political career within the Republican Party by his deeply personal racist assaults on President Obama and by extension, all black Americans, and all Americans of color, and even all of us white people who have supported Obama against the racist bullshit coming from our fellow "tribesmen" - THAT man was richly rewarded for it by being nominated by the Republican Party and being narrowly elected (with a little help from his friends in the FBI and the Russian government, of course 
) in spite of losing the total number of votes overall to Obama's would-be Democratic successor by literally millions of votes. Yet he still became President of the United States; and in terms of votes, White, self-identified "Christians" contributed in a very out-sized way to his overall total.
I would say that this makes me ashamed to be a "Christian" if I didn't believe that for these people, "following Christ" is just a self-justifying slogan for the sanctification of White American Supremacy, and of the self-entitlement, hatefulness, bigotry, and discrimination and violence directed against black people and other people of color (not to mention, immigrants, women, LGBTQ Americans, Muslims, Jews, atheists, agnostics, and other religious "Nones", and potentially even the "liberal heretics" who have the gall to say that they, too, follow the example of Christ Jesus ). But I refuse to let them define "Christianity" for the rest of us, and I know that I'm not alone here.

has ALWAYS been racist and pervasive. Hell while viewing 'I am Not Your Negro' last evening I saw nuns in the crowd that was shouting kill the n******. How many others from different religions, especially Southern Baptists were screaming with distorted hate filled faces full of god's love for all...
Thesetypes in the churches I attended made me call it quits with organized religion in middle 80's. I still studied until 2000 and then I said "fuck this shit".
