When Trump spoke at his inaugural, telling Americans that the election victory belonged to us and not him, I began to feel real hope for the first time in nearly a decade.

As I live streamed the inauguration, I was immediately struck by the weight of such a public ritual, of its symbolism and significance.

Empowerment, equality, and unity flowed freely in the uplifting atmosphere created by thousands of Spokane area community members Saturday for the first annual Women’s March in Spokane.

They are the six clergy members President-elect Donald Trump has invited to offer prayers and Scripture readings at his swearing-in on Friday (Jan. 20) in Washington, D.C.

More than 800 congregations have declared themselves sanctuaries for undocumented immigrants, about double the number since Election Day.

We have by now heard a litany of reasons why so many voters chose Donald Trump for president. Without discounting any of these helpful explanations, I would like to suggest another factor that accounts for Trump’s appeal to so many U.S. voters. Trump succeeded, in part, because he tapped into the most dominant thread of American religion. The most powerful religion in America is America itself.
