White evangelical Christians have long been an important base for Republican Party leaders.

But Trump is the first of them to be seen as a quasi-religious figure.

Trump has managed to form an unlikely alliance with white conservative Christians despite his multiple marriages, hush money payment to a porn star, allegations of sexual misconduct and other misdemeanours.

At Peachtree’s First Baptist Church , where worshippers were avowedly anti-abortion, it did not go unnoticed.

Madison Slay , 25 , said some Christians had a “hard time” voting for Trump because he was not hardline enough on abortion.

Many at the church support his policies to cut tax, boost the economy and cut immigration.
