The fact that religion is the highest indicator of who somebody is voting for over race is interesting, but makes sense given the evangelical and Mormon ties to the GOP and cult of Trump.
 
The most liberal voter I could create:

Kind of surprised my profile (correctly) guessed that I would vote for Biden over Trump. I find it fascinating (in a bad way) that if you flip my profile from "Protestant" to "Evangelical" then I flip to a 70% Trump voter.

Ditto...

I'm sure there's correlation with the people I choose to hang out with, but other men I know who are demographically the same are all Biden voters.
 
What's the difference between a Protestant and an Evangelical? Because I'm apparently only kinda Trumpy with the former and suuuuuuuuper Trumpy with the latter.

Evangelical implies more of a conservative theology where the Bible is not merely important to try and understand (in all of the relevant contexts, literary and historical etc.) but essentially flawless (inerrant, infallible, etc.). Interestingly, in spite of this general commitment and approach, there are widely varying strains or emphases among all that falls under the “evangelical” label.

There’s also much more of a “we/they” or “us vs them (the world)” mentality among evangelicals which renders them more susceptible to hyperpartisan political attitudes.

Can think of Evangelicals vs “mainline” Protestant churches although still certainly some crossover.
 
Yeah:

Protestant is any non-Catholic/orthodox Christian, including mainline denominations like Methodists, PCUSA, Lutherans, Episcopalians, UCC, etc.

Tenets of Evangelicalism revolve around Bebbington's quadrilateral:

Conversionism - Believers must have a personal experience of conversion/salvation (being "born again")
Biblicism - Authoritativeness of Scripture in all matters of life and faith and placing primacy on the exposition and proclamation of Scripture in Worship
Crucicentrism - The importance of the crucifixion and resurrection as it pertains to salvation, especially espousing a Penal Substitutionary Atonement understanding of salvation
Activism - the importance of acting upon one's faith - mostly putting an emphasis on evangelism and sharing the Good News, but increasingly having a dominionist approach to faith and politics, although historically Evangelicals were proponents of the separation of Church and State, dividing the two into secular matters and matter of eternal importance.

I would also argue that "evangelical" in America is a term that has really lost all meaning and serves as a proxy term for socio-political orthodoxy.
