I've read through this piece twice without finding a suggestion that opposition to the Muslim Ban, be it from the religious or broader community, arose primarily from spiritual conviction, which, at any rate, isn't mutually exclusive to revolt against Trumpism.

<<...the American character is at its best when the people's pragmatism is heavily influenced by a generosity of spirit and when fear of the other yields to more fundamental insights regarding our common humanity.>>

This describes the response very well. It's a visceral reaction that corresponds to what I observed at protests. They were emotional. People were in tears. Muslims expressed heartfelt gratitude at such a formidable show of solidarity.

I don't mean to discount the religious convictions that animated so many of the protesters. There was quite a presence from Jews and Christians (as well as other religions, obviously, and non-religious). But...fundamentally it seemed an outburst of common decency.
