Saudi Arabia mysteriously absent. Weird, that.

Nah - but even if it were so, there's empirical evidence of global warming, which would sort of put it a few steps ahead of the competition.

Surely you have no problem with Muslims since Trump has declared that all religious freedom must be protected?

Trump is just talking crap like normal. I think he enjoys giving speeches.

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.

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.

Trump became a Republican and found God.

Evangelical dreams fulfilled.
