While Trump did not specifically call out individual nations, Vice President Pence -- who spoke before the president -- criticized several countries for attacks on religious freedom, including China's persecution of ethnic Uyghur Muslims, Venezuela's contested leader Nicolás Maduro's anti-Semitic rhetoric and Iran's oppression of Christians, Jews and Sunni Muslims.
The Democrats will not like this. Their religion is the church of man-made global warming.
And your religion is a made up intangible God. I’m Catholic and believe in a higher being because it was my upbringing. But with the new generations they seem to be more practical and less religious. Nothing wrong with that.
President Donald Trump is calling on world leaders to take action to protect religious freedom in the wake of rising persecution of people based on their faith and beliefs.
Amen!
That goes for all religions.
The world's 20 largest religions and their number of believers are:
Christianity (2.1 billion)
Islam (1.3 billion)
Nonreligious (Secular/Agnostic/Atheist) (1.1 billion)
Hinduism (900 million)
Chinese traditional religion (394 million)
Buddhism 376 million
Primal-indigenous (300 million)
African traditional and Diasporic (100 million)
Sikhism (23 million)
Juche (19 million)
Spiritism (15 million)
Judaism (14 million)
Bahai (7 million)
Jainism (4.2 million)
Shinto (4 million)
Cao Dai (4 million)
Zoroastrianism (2.6 million)
Tenrikyo (2 million)
Neo-Paganism (1 million)
Unitarian-Universalism (800,000)
Many religions on that list are Pagan in fact most are. In all reality most Americans only can about The Judo-Christian religion being free, and able to make and pass laws as they see fit.
I'm glad he said this. Of course, it would be better if I were convinced he fully and deeply understood what he was saying, but you can't have everything.
I plan to get a transcript of his speech and Pence's speech. I can foresee quoting from them as being quite useful in some of the discussions we have here.
