Atheists, are you less inclined to vote for Trump because he said God saved him from the bullet?

A lot of people are calling Trumps survival a miracle and Trump himself said the same thing. Does this annoy you? Do you think the incident has done your movement damage because it could result in more people believing in God? And I mean the Christian God specifically because this is America.

People praise God because they always identify with the main character when they witness a miracle. If God saved Trump, he will save them if they ever get in danger too. The idea that God didn't intervene with the death of a bystander doesn't matter, because they're never going to be such a side character. And yet there are almost always more victims than heroes, so maybe people should consider themselves in those roles as well before getting all too relieved and thankful.
