Crossroads Podcast: What Changed With Trump’s Religion Numbers This Time?

Crossroads Podcast: What Changed With Trump’s Religion Numbers This Time?



The decline in generic Protestant voting for Trump is interesting, especially since it appears that the president-elect’s totals among white evangelical voters remained the same. Maybe a weakening in Trump support among mainliners? 

Yes, I would also like to see what happened among Black Protestants, on the doctrinal right and left.

In conclusion, here are a few questions that I raised in the podcast, focusing on other stories that journalists might want to explore. 

— What can CHURCHES do to address the beliefs and needs of unchurched blue-collar voters? After all, these voters could become the heart of a future non-religious right.

— Could conservative white evangelicals hold a summit with Black and Latino evangelicals-Pentecostals on:

(a) Parental rights issues

(b) Public safety and police reform

(3) Options in the education marketplace 

— What next for pro-life MINISTRIES, which is not the same thing as pro-life POLITICS? Trump clearly has moved away from a consistent stance on life issues — moving toward a more European focus on policies limiting or banning abortions in the third or even the second trimester.

— Now that he no longer needs the evangelical vote in future elections, does Trump veer toward a more Libertarian stance on moral and cultural issues? The key there will be appointments to the U.S. Supreme Court, with the likely retirements of some strong cultural conservatives.

— Is it time for another Evangelicals and Catholics Together summit, perhaps marking the 30th anniversary of the original? Look at the exit polls.

Enjoy the podcast and, please, share it with others.
