Trump's victory is God's punishment for our amorality.

A good justification for agnosticism.

Actually, if true, I'd call "God wanted Trump as President" a good justification for Satanism (if I believed in either of them).

Nearly half of Republicans think God wanted Trump to be president...More than half of white evangelical Protestants — 55 percent — said that God endorsed Trump. Only 3 in 10 evangelicals said categorically that they didn’t think Trump had God’s explicit support in the election.

If Evangelicals think that Trump is divinely inspired, I suppose that helps explain why his most devout supporters will never abandon him. Crazy shit.

To the religious crowd Tel Aviv pales in comparison to Jerusalem.
And it is not only a physical connection.

And conversely, secular Israelis (a plurality) absolutely despise the ultra-orthodox Haredim in their midst.

I concur with the points you've made above, and elsewhere, regarding religion and politics. It's not hard to imagine Evangelicals and Southern Baptists believing that Trump is God's choice. Winning the election was pretty miraculous if you ask me. And I'm about as secular as it gets.
