RNS – Jeffrey Salkin: President Trump is a religious leader. Trumpism, like other bad religions, denies science, identifies dark forces and denies reality.

„Trumpism is no longer an electoral choice, nor a political ideology.

It is a religion — an overarching worldview, with a high priest and prophet at its head. A worldview that creates an “us versus them” mentality, a dualistic battle between the children of light and the children of darkness. A worldview that allows no disagreement. A worldview that persecutes heretics.

In short, the “bad” kind of religion.”
