The evidence is that some Evangelical Christians do not trust or believe in Science and these so called Christians overwhelmingly support Trump. So the op-ed has a point.

MAJ(P) Eugene Chu - Sample size of one church to represent all 'evangelical Christians' which in the millions across the country, most supporting the mask requirement. The point of a journalist is to provide perspective. Failed and bias journalism is all I see in this article. Logical fallacies are taught in journalism schools but when you want to established a bias narrative, then I guess you use it anyway.
Things that could have been done:
Survey of the Christian population? Statements by the boards or leaders of evangelical denominations? Attend or observe services in appropriate churches.
This is the equivalent of me saying MAJ Chu likes tofu; therefore; all Army Majors are vegan, anti-meat.

It's an op-ed...but interesting conversation. Here is a list of Christian Nobel laureates that embraced science. I hesitate to respond because I was unable to access the NYT op-ed by Katherine Stewart but I did notice the author is peddling her book. Ms. Stewart is the author of “The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism.”

I would have appreciated a more balance in the headline and article. I think it is normal for leaders to hold both religious and use scientific human secularist beliefs.
