The purpose of this blog is to serve as a research diary studying religious memes and politics. The topic of choice is “Donald Trump vs. Christianity.” There is a great divide in the 2016
election, and especially as the recent weeks have unfolded with Trump’s tapes with Billy Bush being leaked, there
are an increasing number of Christians who do not agree with Trump. Some are even claiming that he is not
Christian as he has claimed. While some Christians still support Donald Trump (such as Jerry Falwell Jr.
of Liberty University) many are now issuing a call to leave Trump (Dr. Russell Moore, for example) and rally against his version of
Christianity. As such, the blog will focus around memes that address Christian views on the
things Trump has said and done in relation to his claims about being a Christian. In other words, this
blog will discuss memes that either attack or reaffirm (though the latter seem much less common)
Trump’s claims to being a Christian because of his actions and from that, supporting Donald Trump being
anti-Christian. This will look at memes that see Donald Trump and Christianity/Christian values being
incompatible.
Below are two examples of the types of memes that will be discussed on this blog:
