How many evangelicals come from Trump Tower?

I was listening to a Donald Trump speech in Council Bluffs, Iowa on 12/29, and he attacked Ted Cruz’s religious faith again, saying, “How many evangelicals come out of Cuba?”

I have a different question. How many evangelicals come out of New York City? The population of Tennessee is 47% evangelical. The population of Iowa is 25%, the population of New York State is only 8%, and New York City is undoubtedly even lower.

So given that Donald Trump is from New York City, how likely is it that he is evangelical? This from a man who never seems to go to church, who is stumped when asked to name a single verse from his Bible, and who has never, ever talked about his faith beyond saying, “I’m a Presbyterian! I’m a Presbyterian! I’m a Presbyterian!” Really. He has never once talked about his faith, or how it impacts his worldview, other than to say that he’s Presbyterian, as if he were filling out a form.

Ted Cruz, on the other hand, grew up in Texas, which is 25% evangelical, making it much, much more likely that he is evangelical than Trump, statistically speaking.
