The logic that Pence would be worse than Trump because Trump isn’t a true “believer” is completely flawed for the following reason: Because Trump completely endorses the conservative Christian agenda out of political need, he is fully willing to advance whatever extreme policy the religious right wants. But unlike Pence, Trump can’t be shamed in any manner by appealing to his Christian faith into not verbally — and in practice — advancing the racist white nationalist agenda that appeals to his *original* Obama-is-a-foreign-born-secret-Muslim base.
As such, if Trump were booted from office, and Pence ascended to the presidency, the white nationalist-friendly immigration policy that has been heartily endorsed by Trump, albeit using coded language, and directed by that scum-of-a-human-being Stephen Miller, would be quickly curtailed. And that would be a huge improvement to our national policy all by itself.
