Abstract
This controversy exacerbated the alienation of Religious Right from liberalism, and helped drive them to support Trump. It was part of the reason why Clinton lost the white Evangelical and Catholic votes so resoundingly, and thus the presidency. It reflects deeper antireligious tendencies on the Left. It facilitates Trump’s efforts to reshape not only American identity, but Christian identity.
