I think it already is blowing up in their face, and agree fully with your sentiment. While atheists dont depend on religion to define their morals, they get the opportunity to self-define their morals. A narcissistic egotisticial born-with-a-silver-spoon person like Trump is a wolf in sheep's clothing parading as one of them. He decays or corrupts everything he touches, and the GOP and evangelical Christians have been rubbing all up on him for 7 years. Both groups are in crisis these days.

The GOP has no true platform beyond revenge politics, and the churches are bleeding congregation members... people leaving either because they aren't on board the crazy train of their church peers or leave because they've allowed their beliefs and morals to twist out of whack in conflict of scripture.

Not only that, but all of that was well known prior to him winning the election.

They don't care.

it's not that he's athiest - he still firmly believes in a God and a Supreme Being™, it's just that he sees himself in the role…

Just a note... whether he is atheist or follows a religion isn't actually related to his garbage character.

I get it... I know some religious people mistakenly think that morals come from religion. So it's interesting they pick someone who doesn't even put on a show of practicing their religion.

Of course, as the rest of us know, any amount of observation in life will show that there are both decent and despicable people in both religious and non-religious camps.

But, yeah it is painfully ironic that religious people hitched their wagon to that lying, adulterous, greedy, gluttonous, (etc) slime bag.

All that immoral behavior you mentioned reads much more like the behavior of an outspoken conservative Christian rather than an atheist. You know, all the “rules for thee but not for me” type stuff.

It may be true that neither of them really believe deep down, but only one is using it to look good while being shitty.
