Religious attendance split which facets of Christian nationalism motivated Trump support.
Evidence
But while Trump captured the hearts and minds of the less religiously active Christian Nationalists (those who attend church infrequently), his nativist positions were less popular with the most religiously active Christian Nationalists (Stroope et al. 2021; Stroope, Rackin, and Froese 2021). This is consistent with our notion that it was the CS aspect of CN which appealed to Trump supporters over and above the historic goals of RT. Therefore, Trump was not seen as an exemplar of Christian culture or someone who could effectively spread the Gospel, but rather as a warrior willing to use the power of the federal government to advance the status and interests of a white Christian minority. — Ruiqian Li and Paul Froese, The Duality of American Christian…, 57
