Let's not forget they were also religious.

I'd rather scam them, than let trump bleed them dry.

    Tell me you've never known a religious person outside your shitty family.

    A lot of atheists voted for Trump, and a lot of religious people voted against him.

    What's up with your fixation about whether people have known religious people?

    I was once religious. I knew religious people outside my shitty family (from church).

    "A lot of atheists voted for Trump"

    "A lot of religious people voted against him"

    Neither of these points really identify my issue, which is:

    "the vast majority of people who voted for Trump were religious"

    The vast majority of Americans are religious, and even the ones that mark their religion as None mostly believe in God.

    Congratulations, you have an issue with Americans in general. They still don't deserve to be scammed.
