The real God of the USA, that's why!  But of course you know this!

The following probably is not related to decisions at WSU quite directly,
but I can't resist!

The dollar bill indicates "In God We Trust" and evangelicals in the
USA given "prosperity theology"  link spiritual legitimacy to monetary
power.  This in part explains why 80 percent of white evangelicals voted
for Trump despite his apparent moral deficiencies.

Evangelicals Love Donald Trump Because Jesus Loves Rich People
by Jay Michaelson

A lot of coastal liberals have been shaking their heads at evangelicals
these days.

How, they ask, could over 80 percent of white evangelical Christians have
voted for a vulgar, boastful, sexual-abuse-bragging serial adulterer
married to a former nude model? Let alone the race-baiting, the biblical
ignorance (“Two Corinthians”), the fraud, the tax-dodging, the cheating of
business partners, and the promise to bring back torture.
