Their profile is raised somewhat by evangelicals in government, like Pence.

Trump claims to be Presbyterian, probably goes to church on Easter, maybe. Unless the weather's nice, in which case he's golfing.

As to his "worldview", I don't think Christianity (evangelical or otherwise) ever influences his worldview. His worldview doesn't mock Christianity, it simply ignores it.

I mean no criticism on this issue. Trump might represent a true split between religion and state, as he practices no religion (and not statesmanship, either).
