Is the Trump presidency a religious cult , Reza Aslan, Big Think
Is the Trump presidency a religious cult New videos DAILY: Join Big Think Edge for exclusive video lessons from top thinkers and doers: Are fundamentalist Christians a dangerous religious cult Possibly. The controversial author and religious scholar Reza Aslan posits that President Donald Trump has much of his evangelical fanbase believing that he s somehow been anointed by God to become President. Nevermind the Russian election scandal, his affairs with porn stars and unwarranted sexual acts towards women, or his inability to remember even a single Bible verse when asked. Evangelical Christians are abandoning their core moral beliefs to follow, as Reza suggests, someone who exhibits every trademark of a cult leader. And that should terrify anyone on either side of the political spectrum. Reza s latest book is God: A Human History.
