@TomSea One of the Founding Fathers first priorities was to separate Government from Religion, they haven't failed us thus far, IMHO, but it's not lost on me that the Catholics (as a majority) voted for obummer and his pro-choice agenda, twice, not to mention the current Pope's rhetoric.
Religion, organized AND non denominational has it's fair share of bad people, just like the rest of society.
You can keep your Religious stuff, as it has sustained our Country (and you) thus far, but I'll keep my feet firmly planted in the reality that Jesus never would have even liked most of these people, Trump included, though he preached LOVE.

@corbe This is not a religious forum but I will give a limited response,
White Catholics did not vote for Obama per majority, the vote got split along ethnic lines with Hispanics. It might be the same if one split up the Evangelical vote per whites and blacks on Obama.
Again, the proof is in the pudding, I'm just saying, I give Trump a lot of credit for largely ending Christian persecution in Iraq/Syria.
Likewise, it's not lost on me, that numerous sources will cite with this persecution as beginning under former Texas governor George Bush. Those people have been there for 2000 years. Leave it to the US's intervention to set off a chain of events seeing their numbers dwindle? No thanks. I don't blame the US in whole but there is some responsibility, we were told this was happening and did little about it.
Also, if one starts to talk about keeping religious values to oneself, etc. etc. Good! Now, one can go vote for Kamala, Obama or whomever would say the same thing.
Since the onset of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003, Iraq’s Christian population has plummeted from more than 1 million to roughly 200,000. Most who remain are destitute, living in misery as internally displaced people. They would seize any opportunity to leave the anti-Christian sectarian violence wracking their homeland for a new life in the West.

So, as best is possible, the Trump Admin and by mainly getting out of the way of the military has brought some rhyme and reason to the situation. Worth my vote and yes, it is things like this as to why Christians support him.
Pay for abortion? All this other? That's what we will get if we totally leave religion out of things.
Founding Fathers made all kinds of statements on religion.
Anywhere you go, you find this persecution started under Bush, perhaps others can say "I don't care", I'm not among them.
