Yeah, clergy have given counsel to presidents before. For the fundamentalist, powermad ones like we have right now, that is their power outlet.
Can you argue that under Reagan, Bush and Shrub... That they have not found highly sympathetic ears to push their agenda?
They share similar goals and get to see what they want actually happen.
If they did not have that outlet, if they felt their were persecuted by a superpower and an alien religious culture was impressing itself upon their countrymen... Can you really say they wouldn't have taken a similar tact?
I believe they would have.
Same story, different characters.
