Ross Douthat notes that the most committed Christians are not the ones turning to Trump, but that the GOP front-runner is succeeding "where active religiosity has weakened, but a Christian-ish residue remains." Trump's "occasional nods to religious faith — like, say, his promise to make store clerks say “Merry Christmas” instead of “Happy Holidays” — are well tailored for voters for whom Christian identity is still a talisman even when an active faith is all but gone."
