Even growing up in Central Texas (Temple) I would say less than half of my friends were deeply religious. shite just doesn't do anything for me or many of my peers anymore. I don't see how evangelical candidates will ever grab enough votes to matter once the boomers start dying off.
What I also find interesting is how little religion affects the voting habits of minorities. The black population is heavily religious, yet votes almost exclusively liberal. Middle-aged white men pushing jesus on religious BLM activists doesn't work, apparently.

The decline of religiosity probably has as much to do with Trump's rise as anything. For a lot of people it's a form of cultural signaling rather than a true faith.
When you ask people whether they actually attend church on a weekly basis (as opposed to something more vague like "are you religious") it actually becomes a statistically significant predictor of opposition to Trump.
