Despite being an officially secular country, religion is everywhere in the United States. 70% of Americans are Christians and the majority of them voted for Trump. Evangelicals mobilized in their masses to get Donald Trump elected and they similarly geared up to do the same in the most recent election.
Evangelicals have even created their own Bible- themed attractions, boldly rewriting the science books to educate their children. In Kentucky,an actual-size Noah’s ark has been built along with a museum that supports the theory that the universe was created in just six days. Here, visitors can see Adam and Eve co-existing with dinosaurs.
In Louisa, Virginia, Pastor Marc O’Connor accompanies the sheriff on patrol with an agenda to evangelise the arrestees. Meanwhile, in Georgia, a Christian militia lives in fear of atheists, and prepares for urban guerrilla war.
43 million people in the United States now live below the poverty line, twice as many as it was fifty years ago.
