How many Americans believe Trump is anointed by God? - Religion News Service
This is some seriously frightening stuff.
Perhaps things like this might help some people understand why the non-religious in the world are speaking out louder and louder.

[FONT="](RNS) — Over the weekend, Rick Perry, the U.S. secretary of energy, became the latest highly placed evangelical Christian to claim that President Trump is the “chosen one.” [/FONT]
[FONT="]Not long ago, Paula White, the Pentecostal pastor who was recently named to head the White House’s faith outreach office, said she couldn’t refuse a request to serve from the president. “To say no to President Trump would be saying no to God, and I won’t do that.” [/FONT]
[FONT="]The Rev. [/FONT]Franklin Graham[FONT="] has made similar allusions, saying, “I think God was behind the last election,” as has former U.S. Representative [/FONT]Michele Bachmann[FONT="]. Wayne Allyn Root, a conservative author, radio host and conspiracy theorist, has called Trump the “[/FONT]King of Israel[FONT="]” and “the second coming of God.”[/FONT]
