Religion predictions for 2018? Young Mormons become Democrats, white evangelicals stick with Trump, a Jewish #MeToo

We asked some of the country’s top faith leaders, scholars and activists to predict what changes the religious landscape will see after the New Year.

From Mormon politics to the Vatican to the Supreme Court, here’s what they say we ought to keep an eye out for.

I predict that in 2018 some event involving President Donald Trump will pose a decisive moral test for his strongest base of supporters, white evangelicals.

Sadly, I think that we already know what will happen. A core of #Trumpvangelicals will remain loyal no matter what. … And it will be even more clear that whatever happens to Trump will happen to these evangelicals, because they have become indistinguishable.
