This is why I want nothing to do with churches.

From 2011 to 2016, white evangelicals dramatically changed their minds about the importance of politicians’ private behavior

[snip]

White evangelicals had a substantially different reaction when asked about Trump or Clinton. When primed to think about Trump, only 6 percent of them say that an elected official who acts immorally in private is incapable of being ethical in public life. But when Bill Clinton is mentioned, that rises to 27 percent — a 21-point increase.

This is why millions of people walked out of churches and they will NEVER go back!

Catholics were the most consistent in condemnation of the groups identified it seems.
