"Whatever Trump's moral failings, he's a street fighter suited for an era of political combat. Christian conservatives believe—rightly or wrongly—that they've been held back by their sense of righteousness, grace, and gentility, with disastrous results. Trump operates without restraint. He is the enemy they believe the secular deserve, and perhaps unfortunately, the champion they need. Understanding this dynamic is crucial to understanding the psychology that attracts establishment Republicans to Trump, and convinces them that his offense is their best defense."
Ezra Klein at Vox explains the concept of "post-Christian culture wars."
