I've seen some comments from those in the religious right who acknowledge that American Christianity is already paying a heavy price for the irresponsible departure from mission and purpose of some for the purpose of supporting Trump. People who didn't support him are not leaving the Christian faith, but they are no longer supporting those leaders and institutions that did, and the drop in support is being felt.
Religious Right pays a price for support of Trump

Good Article from a Good Blog
Sometimes bloggers give you insights that you can't get elsewhere because they don't always get picked up. This one comes from an Evangelical Christian perspective and shares some frustrations of those who aren't caught up in the "group think" mentality that seems to dominate. I will also note that the right to free speech is pretty non-existent in Evangelical circles, because those who express an opinion or position different than the "majority" are often excluded from participation in the church and in some cases, risk their employment, especially if they are in the ministry. Think about that as you read this.
