Daniel Deitrich, a pastor at South Bend City Church in South Bend, Ind., wrote "Hymn for the 81%" out of frustration with Trump's evangelical support.
"In
2016, 81 percent of white evangelical Christians voted for Donald Trump
after, among other things, hearing an audio recording of him bragging
about sexually assaulting women. Even after enacting deliberately cruel
policies to rip families apart and put children in cages at the southern
border, evangelical support is as fervent as ever," Deitrich told Religion News Service in an interview explaining why he wrote the song.
"I was raised in the evangelical world and was taught to take the words of Jesus seriously: Love God, love your neighbor, feed the hungry, fight against injustice," he continued. “This song might ruffle some feathers, but maybe some feathers need to be ruffled."
