Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : "Trump doesn't understand it in the religious sense, but he definitely understands that he can use it to put himself forward," she says.
50% : Talk to Action, a platform dedicated to analysis of the religious right, says NAR demonises minority groups such as Muslim-Americans and LGBT+ citizens, and promotes "a Tea Party style of radical libertarian economics categorically opposed to government involvement in healthcare, and advocates the burning or destruction of objects and scripture associated with a wide range of faiths".
