The religious right is not dead, but it sure has been beaten to a pulp by media and politicians. Christians have a duty and obligation to vote for President, but the vote is for President not senior Pastor. Does anyone in their right mind think Jimmy Carter was a great President? Trump is not perfect, but if you abstain or vote otherwise, Clinton will win.....of course the Clintons have no association with rape or sexual abuse.

"Dead" is a ridiculous term here. What is happening is a realization that we live in a culture that has moved each year farther away from the Judeo-Christian teachings that founded it. As such, it becomes increasingly difficult to find and elect people based on whether that person holds to those teachings or not, and likewise difficult to enact laws that reflect them.
It used to be said that you cannot legislate morality. The truth is that is ALL you can legislate as the law is nothing more than the moral statement of society.
As society changes its morals, the laws change in concert.
If people continue to try and vote only for people who hold their religious beliefs or moral beliefs we will have more Obamas and more Clintons and less rights. That is the realization we are coming to.

This is one of the tenets Marx brought forth in Das Kapital, his tome on Socialism and Communism. Like Hitler's Mein Kampf, it's aim is to separate the people from their moral beliefs in God so as to weaken them.
Socialists/Communists/Democrats all believe in robbing the productive to support their socialist voters.
