Does the current presidential administration evils all echo back to religion?

As a Humanist, I HATE the current things going on in the US with the Trump administration. One thing I am curious about, though... Does it all echo back to their fucked up, distorted view of Christianity? It seems that for them, their distorted view of Christianity has to be intertwined within every facet of life. Or is it simply a lust for power, entrenched in their religion? I am about 99% the current sentiment towards transgender people right now in the US all comes back in the end to their "religious beliefs."

Now, as much as I have no need for religion, and disagree with its general message, which would include Christianity, there are some out there who have more common sense like liberal Christians. Many of them don't seem to be interested in spreading Christianity to every sector of American life or politics, and even respecting others beliefs, I.E., Muslims, Hindu, Jew, atheist, etc.

That said, what's wrong with these people? I also recently basically quit using facebook and deactivated my account for the time being after seeing sentiments come into my feed of people encouraging others to openly discriminate against transgender people.
