Abstract
Donald J. Trump has been described as a president who, to a great extent, divided the American nation. Nevertheless, we consider why the white Evangelicals in the US strongly support Donald J. Trump, not only during the presidential election of 2016, but also during his presidency and throughout the election campaign of 2020. For what reasons? How does Trump relate to American civil religion? In this paper, the US religio-political situation under the Trump era is problematized and clarified.
