Anthea Butler, the chair of the University of Pennsylvania Department of Religious Studies, doesn't think many Americans know the full extent to which Trump-loving evangelical Christians are devoted to the president-elect.
Writing in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Butler argued that many MAGA evangelicals see Trump not just as someone who will enact their preferred policy agenda, but as "God's man" whose "deification" was ratified by his win in the 2024 election.
"If that sounds crazy and frightening to you, it should," she writes.
