Trump didn’t present himself as a particularly devout man before he embarked upon his political career, but seems to have found God when it became politically expedient to do so. When he’s not comparing himself to Jesus, the former president invokes religion regularly.

While he’s always courted evangelicals, it’s been noted his campaign now seems increasingly infused with Christian imagery.
