I never heard of a Trump worshiper who didn’t also mention being a Christian, often in the same breath.
Hubs is a Trumper. He is not a Christian or even religious at all.
Trump is a Trump worshiper who doesn’t particularly pretend to be Christian, too.
Many of the people on 4chan who support Trump most certainly couldn’t be described as Christian, and probably never would themselves.
One of their main motivations for supporting Trump is, apparently, for the lulz. He was the Boaty McBoatface candidate in 2016.

Also, according to this source, 35 percent of Muslims supported Trump (according to an Associated Press poll).
Seems then that my supposition is somewhat true according to that quote. My neck of the woods is lily-white, mostly Lutheran along with a good number of evangelicals. There are a smaller number of Catholics and “other” religions represented. It seems, at least locally, that the more “religious” a person is, the greater likelihood they are Trump supporters. Lots of them are still praying for Trump to win the election that was “stolen” from him.
Sure, if you define “more religious” to mean “Evangelical”. I don’t see any reason to define it that way, though.
If I was looking for a group that had less political power in their party than The Log Cabin Republicans, this would definitely fit the bill.
I know at least one Jew who voted for him who is not in the slightest bit Orthodox, and I also know of some Orthodox groups that supported him.
The non-Orthodox, yet very much Jewish-identified Jew who voted for him is an aberration-- or, at any rate, extremely unusual. But they exist.
Some Orthodox groups, while not being especially vociferous in their support of him, voted for him because they didn’t want a woman president, and it’s not for thinking a woman can’t handle the job-- it’s on the assumption that the men around her would be distracted by her gender, and that her face all over the news would cause men in general, and Jewish men in particular, to be licentious, even ones without a lot of interest in politics.
It’s a very ingrained thing in Orthodoxy, that men’s sexuality is women’s problem. There are plenty of such Orthodox people who would readily admit it’s not fair, and that her gender does not make a woman unfit for office per se.
They would even say that Trump was a terrible president, likely the worst in history, and they wish he’d never run-- but they would still say they couldn’t vote for a women. There would probably be some blame laid at Hillary Clinton’s feet for the whole 4-years of Trump was a prolonged calamity as well. Kinda like the people who say that women shouldn’t be rabbis, because men might end up thinking about sex instead of HaShem at service. They freely admit it’s a men’s issue-- it’s still women’s problem.

I think it makes sense in some contexts. Here in the Bible belt, if someone talks about someone being very religious, it pretty much always means in the (White) Evangelical sense (or Fundamentalist sense, but people seem to consider the latter a subgroup of the former these days, or even as the same thing).
You also get something interesting if you just take religious to mean Christian (which it often does here in the US). Regular churchgoers were still more likely than non-churchgoers to vote for Trump. Trump seems to appeal to non-churchgoing Christians primarily if they are Christian nationalists.
This article from November 2020 seems to indicate that it’s common for the far right movements to reactivate religious fervor in non attending individuals, and that Trump’s saying vaguely Christian things while not being a Christian himself might actually put him in the perfect position to attract non-churchgoing Christians.
This may part of the reason for the OP’s observation. Cultural Christianity is very popular here in the US. (I’ve met quite a few people who never attend church yet somehow know what denomination they are.)
My dad is a Trump supporter who isn’t a Christian. I’m not entirely sure if he’s agnostic or atheist, but not really religious at all. Meanwhile, I’m a Christian who supported/supports Biden and voted for him.
Also, oddly enough my dad argued with me some years ago that Creationism should be taught in schools as an alternative viewpoint during science studies. I argued that it has nothing to do with science, and that faith/religion has no place being taught as science, but if it is taught it should be in theology or other religious studies. Again, the irony is that I’m a Christian and he isn’t.
How did they feel about Golda Meir?
I have a couple of Trump supporting acquaintances who are Jewish. The only one who’s ever given me an explanation of why he supported Trump is that he’s a doctor. And as a doctor, he knows for a fact that government-run healthcare would be an utter disaster that would turn our country into a devastated wasteland. It’s therefore worth any price, even electing Trump, to prevent a Democrat from becoming president. 
Orthodox Jews in the US don’t have the warm fuzzies for the modern State of Israel in general.
There are plenty of pagan Trumpers, of the Ásatrú “folkish” White Nationist ilk.
That QAnon shamon had a fuck-huge Mjölnir tattoo, for example.
I know a number of observant Jews who are ardent Trumpists as well, including my accountant, with whom I absolutely do not discuss anything political whatsoever.
ETA: is it just me, or is auto-correct more aggressive now that we’ve moved to Discourse?
I do too know how to spell “shaman”
He had a valknut and an Yggdrasil, as well
I find it both irritating and sad that these groups have such a low opinion of men’s self-control. Also, very irritated at why men’s problems wind up restricting women.
Maybe we should make the entire government female so none of them will be distracted by women and these men can go sit in the synagogue and read Torah all day to keep them out of the way of progress?
Sorry - just a little snarky about that attitude.
And Ivanka. We’ll see how long her conversion lasts if she decides to run for office herself.
