## Key points

- White evangelical voters made up 17% of the electorate.
- The article says their share fell nearly 30% since the previous midterms.
- Voters with no religion were the largest religious demographic.

## Summary

The article argues that claims of a Christian revival after Charlie Kirk’s influence are not supported by the election results. It says white evangelical voters’ share of the electorate fell sharply between the previous midterms and the latest election, while voters with no religious affiliation formed the largest religious demographic.

Citing NBC News exit polling, the article puts white evangelical or born-again Christians at 17% of voters, despite 60% identifying as some kind of Christian. The author, who identifies with the group, says the distinction matters because, in their interpretation of the Bible, being born again is essential to being Christian.
