Salon Magazine has accused the Republican Party of being out of touch with “post-Christian America,” warning the GOP that if it doesn’t renege on its alliance with Christianity, it will soon become irrelevant.
Ted Cruz’s failure to get the GOP nomination, Matthew Sheffield proclaims in Salon, “is a perfect window into trends that will set the pace of American politics for decades to come: Americans are moving away from Christianity, including people most likely to vote Republican.”
To back up his claims, Sheffield cites the 2014 Pew Research study finding that 23 percent of Americans say they’re “unaffiliated” with any religious tradition, up from 20 percent just three years earlier. The trend away from religion, and Christianity in particular, Sheffield argues, is the real cause of Republicans’ woes and their failure to win the last two elections.
“The likely reason why Republicans have declined in popularity among the non-religious is GOP’s long habit of identifying itself as a Christian party,

What you guys said.
Aren’t most Salon writers homosexual? It’s incumbent on homosexuals to reject G-d.
Luke 17:26-30 King James Version (KJV)
26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Bullshite!!!
Vote Trump 2016
>> Salon Magazine has accused
Why give credence to sanctimonious juveniles?
Salon would prefer a caliphate and sharia law.
We have already kicked Jesus out of this country, and that’s WHY we are in this mess......56 MILLION DEAD BABIES and women want MORE DEAD BABIES....and GAY EVERYTHING!
Baloney! Being unaffiliated does not mean one has become an atheist. It just means certain people have unaffiliated themselves with certain churches which have turned their backs on Christian teachings and now follow the gay parade.
Ted was wearing a false mantle to win the Bible Belt. The Bible Belt anointed Trump because the Christian heart is known by its acts.Teed was a fake.
In many cases the homosexuals rejected God before their homosexuality, as God then turned them over to their degenerate lusts.
Same with Salon. Their continuous degeneration is manifest in politics such as transgenderism. About as nutty as one can get.
Scripture points out to us that the first stages of rejecting God is to grieve the Holy Spirit and if continued, degenerates into quenching the Holy Spirit. Not only will they attempt to substitute counterfeit panaceas for that which God has provided, they now will seek to attack God Himself.
They are in a helpless death spiral serving as a public manifestation that the rejection of God always results in dismal failure.
Liberal totalitarian thugs crave the brutal oppression of Christianity.
That oppression is the core of all they do.
Taking advice from Salon; advice which I am certain was intended to help conservatism win over socialism, is like ancient Rome taking was advice from Carthage.
Has Donald Trump even mentioned Jesus yet?
Trump was supposedly saved and I have no reason to doubt him. He is prescient enough to know that while many take their religion seriously, religion is not going to make the top ten in issues that are really weighing on the Nation.
If the Democrats did dump islamopohilia, they would still have Clinton Worship, obama worship, and abortion worship. The Democrat Party is truly the spawn of Satan.
People like Ted Cruz are the people who have done the most to hurt Christianity in this country.
His behavior is why he is disliked.
His children’s reaction to him told me all I needed to know about Cruz.
I imagine those kids are happy now to not have to get dragged around and used all the time.
“The folks around here certainly hated Ted Cruz in part because he talked like a Christian.”
No, Cruz talked like a phony, non-believer Christian. His lifestyle certainly was in conflict with Christian belief. Trump has a sincere belief in God, he is not perfect nor tries to pretend he is. Trump is openly who he is, that is refreshing. BTW, Trumps actions are very Christian...
In God We Trust.
The alternative is not America as founded, or what made America exceptional.
There is NO possible way that our nation's Founders would have considered Cruz a natural born citizen. Cruz KNOWS that but chose to thumb is his nose at the Constitution and ran anyway.
The guy is a jerk!
Salon has it wrong - it’s not “Post-Christian America”. It needs to be and IS going to be “Post-Muslim America” come January when Omuslim leaves .... that’s what they’re really worried about.
