For decades, political strategists spoke about the "God gap" in which white religious believers were more Republican and white non-believers more Democratic. Recent data shows a new God gap emerging within the Democratic Party. David French explains how secular white progressives are now pushing religious Black and Latino voters out of the Democratic coalition. Then, Jethani and French explore how Trump has discipled the church more than the church has discipled Trump. There's growing evidence that cruelty, dishonesty, and a refusal to repent are being embraced by Christians aligned with Trump. Will this trend self-correct and what will be its legacy on our culture?

I think that sometimes we really need to pay more attention to the body and health, which we often treat too carelessly. That being said, just take a quality supplement every day, like the cbd capsules CBD Muscle Balm. I prefer the capsules because I don't have to worry about dosing.
A couple of comments. 1) Bonhoeffer was very troubled by the alliance he was forced to make with the secularist/atheist of his day. He lamented the large number of Christians who fell under the spell of Hitler. And invented the notion of unconscious Christian to try to explain why his atheist friends were more moral on these issues than his Christian colleagues. Black Christians in the US have had that gap for some time. In 1968 Bill Pannell wrote the book, "My Friend the Enemy". The book was an attempt to explain to his conservative white friends why so many black Christians were to be found on the other side of the political divide.
2) The data from Pew are…
I’m Canadian and not well versed in USA politics so correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t some of the more “progressive“ voices in the Democratic party actually religious and/or “non-white“? It seems like you were implying the opposite, unless I misunderstood.
First, I have been a republican most of my life. I am now not party aligned. What i see different in the partisan rhetoric of the Republican Party leaders is they have moved from competing policy ideas to positioning Democrats as enemy of the country and then have resorted to mockery and ridicule. It is like they are leading a mob. A very few republicans like Liz Chaney are trying to lead with truth. Now she is being mocked. I do not see the partisans ( Democrats and Republicans ) behaving the same.
Not American,

Key fixes that seem self-evident from outside your Excited States...
remove the limit on the size of the house -- it under-represents urban areas grotesquely.
Drive the National Popular Vote compact -- long term, it's more to both parties' benefit to neutralize the Slave-Power-pandering, segregation-maintaining Electoral College, but from the bottom up, wouldn't even require a constitutional amendment.
Increase the pool of judges for the Supreme Court to about 10x the number of Federal Circuits; draw the judges on any given case by lot -- could be done by act of congress, again, no messing with your constitution.
For the rest I'll play the Job…
