Yep, a huge number. But black churches never seem to come up in these types of conversations.

He would likely pursue policies that will both go against Christian principles and infringe on religious liberty.  But, no, he would not kill religion because God is in charge.  Christianity isn't even dead in China where the government actively wants to destroy it (not that I'm equating Biden to the CCP, for the record).

The hitching of Evangelical Christianity and the Republican Party as the party of Christian values, along with the Catholic Church sex scandals, has done more damage to Christianity than whatever Joe Biden could even muster if he wanted to. In the eyes of many; Christianity is tarred with hating thy peers, friends, and family while it desperately clings to power in an age where the demographics doesn’t warrant such continued domination and presence in our society. Instead of reforming itself to a new era, it has become the dreaded establishment and dominant culture imposed on a more countercultural and rebellious atmosphere.

The Democratic position isn’t even one of being against organized religion existing, much less being against Christianity. Even among Democrats, you can’t win unless you profess some veneer of Christianity and be perceived to be religious, like Biden is.

So yeah, instead of adapting to the times and reforming from within, the major movements and heads of American Christianity have instead gaslighted reformers as unbelievers and blamed it on dark forces working to do something to god or whatever. And even with it being dominant in our society at every level, there’s still this ignorant fear of religion being gone in America. To that I say I bloody wish, but no, such a thing isn’t possible now or in the future. In the meanwhile, stop hitting yourselves and dragging your claws into the earth and adapt or lose more relevance.

No, because Nietzsche has already killed God.

In all seriousness: no, absolutely not, and the suggestion that God and religion will be “hurt” or “killed” just because presidential election number fifty-whatever results in an outcome Trump doesn’t like is pure unadulterated ox’s dung to this Christian and to most of the Christians I know. (Conveniently, it also ignores the hundreds of millions of non-American Christians who will apparently just… no longer have a religion because America held an election??) Obviously the Democratic Party has voiced support for some policies that aren’t consistent with a Christlike worldview and that Christians cannot in all good conscience support. But so has the Republican Party! For one’s identity as a Christian to be fully bound up in the fate of a political movement or figurehead is really, really at odds with the entirety of the Church’s history. It makes a mockery of the Biblical injunction to “put not your trust in princes.”

Frankly, for Trump or anyone else to even hint that politics has the power to negate anything God can do would be verging on the blasphemous, and anyone applauding or encouraging such comments from the President of the United States should be ashamed of the example they’re setting for other Christians – assuming they are still capable of being ashamed.
