(While 88 percent of American evangelicals <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pewforum.org\/religious-landscape-study\/religious-tradition\/evangelical-protestant\/#belief-in-god\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">are \u201cabsolutely certain\u201d they believe in God<\/a>, only 58 percent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pewforum.org\/religious-landscape-study\/religious-tradition\/evangelical-protestant\/#attendance-at-religious-services\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">say they attend weekly services<\/a>.)

The loss of social capital that accompanies detachment from a cohesive church community has very real material costs, and lower-class white communities are far less equipped to withstand it than those who are rich and unchurched.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/nationalinterest.org\/feature\/who-are-trumps-christians-15441?page=show\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Read more at the National Interest\u2026<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, I was a guest on In The Arena to talk about the aftermath of Super Tuesday and to look ahead to\u00a0Second Super Tuesday. \u00a0(Is that what we\u2019ve agreed to call it?
