That would boil down to only Atheists doing the voting because the majority of Democrats (65%) also identify as Christian. Everyone else besides Atheists would have to sit it out because neither candidate measures up to biblical standards.
I believe in God and the bible. But I don't take stock in any bible based religion. From Genesis to the Apostles, the bible teaches one gospel, one Christ, and one God. But bible based religion today is comprised of tens of thousands of different denominations, each with their own interpretation and understanding of the gospel. So they each have their own gospel, Christ, and God. So the bible stands as a silent witness against bible based religion or what's known as traditional Christianity. This is self evident more than my opinion. They are the Church's of men, attempting to approximate what was in the past as if it were so today. But they screwed up and each went at it according to their own reckoning. So what they wind up with isn't Christianity as if it were the work of God, but babel because it's the presumption of man. Not to step on anyone's toes, but that's just reality. For all his obvious faults, at least Trump doesn't pretend to represent God.
His bullying ways is a lot of what draws people to him, because historically democrats have said all kinds of vile things about republicans and the republicans responded politely and tried to focus on policies. Remember how much of the conversation was about how dumb W was during his presidency? Trump played the media in such a way that many of their usual tactics at undermining "conservatives" backfired on them and strengthened the support of his base. But it all traces back to Nixon's southern strategy, as the republican party has abandoned historic conservative principles as anything but talking points. Trump didn't create the culture of demeaning your political adversaries, he was just willing to stoop lower and attack back when he was attacked. And a lot of that was because in 2016 the media built him up in the primaries because they seemed to think he had the worst shot against Hilary. They just didn't realize how much of a monster he is.
Then your setting a high standard for Trump compared to every other politician because no other politicians state that they use Christian principles for their position yet they are Christians. Would you say Harris has no religious principles.
No abortion was nearly universially opposed in US and more western nations history. I has only changed in recent times. There is absolutely no Christian basis for abortion. The new age religions that support abortion are part of the progressive ideology that has crept into some churches.
If it starts with actions which I agree more than just words then some of Trumps actions support Christian principles. What would be evidence his words or his actions. If he did not say anything but brought about Christian principles into government. Or he spoke Christian principles but did the opposite.
But where do we begin and to what end? It seems half the people in the country dispute you picture in favor of an idealized icon or even savior of our present ills created by democrats and liberals. I think al we can do at this point is pay attention and correlate his decisions with actual results. And this is where truth telling will be so important.
