To the editor:
We need to stop referring to President Trump’s religious supporters as evangelical Christians, because the term describes people who are committed to the belief that Jesus Christ is the savior of mankind, not to a set of conservative political beliefs. (“White evangelicals think Trump is divinely ordained. He’ll do almost anything to keep it that way,” Opinion, June 14)
Call these people what they really are: Christian nationalists, people who believe that religious freedom is the right to impose their beliefs on others. Theirs is a theology based on culture and political belief rather than the other way around, and they need to be tagged with a term that better describes the role they want to play in our country.
There are many Christian evangelicals who do not support Trump because he is the antithesis of their religious beliefs.
