Christian conservatives seem quite invested in selling him as one, and as the second-coming of Reagan.
The left-wing seem to think they score a significant point if they point out that he isn't the genuine article but is only playing the ear of the religious right.
To Christians, at the end of the day whether Trump is a Christian or not, is between him and God.
I think his public statements don't exactly overpower me with a sense that he has the faith. However, there's a matter of record of what sort of political actions he taking. Is he a friend or foe of the religious right. And it appears he wants to be seen as a friend, and therefore the Religious Right in turn will treat him as one.
Obama, Clinton and Kennedy all claimed to be right believing Christians, and yet you can't exactly say their policies were all that friendly towards the religious communities.
At the end of the day it is those decisions that we are interested in. So if it turned out tomorrow that it was proven beyond any reasonable doubt that Trump was in fact an atheist, then I'd say its the kind of Christian atheist I'd want in office.
