They are more numerous than you realise. I’d say about half the people that I grew up with when I lived in a red county were non-religious republicans. And you’d think that wouldn’t make any sense until you realise that actual republican voters that care about actual republican values don’t really give two shits about all that religious stuff. It’s just that the extremists are louder and, unsurprisingly, more preachy.
They exist in significant numbers. Think incels, weebs, tech-bro wannabes, stoner rednecks, suburbanites with money and kinks… there’s quite a lot of types for whom MAGA is anti-establishment.
who are these non-religious republicans? i’m sure they exist, but i’ve never, not once, met them or heard from them
