Personally, I kinda like him exposing the “moral” Christian right for the power hungry political opportunists they really are.

I wonder what Trump is going to get for selling the country.

A man who declares he has never sought God's forgiveness claiming he is “bringing back religion”.
Anyone who believes such a claim does not understand Christianity. Christianity was established by God, who humbled himself to the cross, not by a prideful man who cannot seek God's forgiveness.

Asking for God's forgiveness is fundamental to being considered a believer in Christianity. President Trump has publicly stated that he has never sought God's forgiveness. Therefore, President Trump is not a believer in the Christian faith.

The one I like is "we elected a president, not a pastor." Another thoughtless one-liner that gets repeated without any critical thought.
Regardless of whether he is a president or a pastor, he still claims to be a Christian. And the bible says that we are to hold believers more accountable than non-believers. But that's not the pattern of the Christians who defend Trump. He clearly violates the ethics and values which are outlined in the New Testament, yet they do not hold him accountable for that. But non-believers are much more readily scrutinized.
It is amazing how large parts of the Christian culture in America throw around these catch phrases which have no basis in scripture, and which are often antithetical to scripture and the Christian faith. It is indicative of a faith which, instead of fighting against "principalities and powers", is purely tribal in its motivations.

Totally. Trump is terrifically good at discerning leverage points in the American psyche. Some skeptics would say thats the same category of insight the promoters of Jesus exploited.

I'm guessing that the whole façade of "religious freedom" will be subject to the usual selective enforcement early?
Or are we going to wait until the first school plays the Adhan over its PA system before we get the "that's not what we meant by religious freedom" screams?
