Trump only seeks to protect the christians. No one else.

Paula White-Cain is one of those wackos who is a proponent of prosperity theology; the idea that wealth is evidence of divine grace. The parts of the bible where christ cautions about the stumbling blocks of wealth do not apply to her, it seems.

First Amendment
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

While the 1st Amendment prohibits Congress from establishing a religion, the president should not make end runs around the Constitution to favor one religion over another.

Trump is a known atheist but he pretended to be a Christian during his campaigns so religious suckers would vote for him. Apparently it worked. If Trump isn't an atheist then why did he refuse to put his hand on the Bible during his inauguration earlier this year? I guess the Bible would have caught on fire if Trump touched it. 🤣📖🔥

Jefferson, JQ Adams, Coolidge, and T. Roosevelt did not take their oaths with the hands on a bible. Whether or not Trump swears on a bible means nothing to me. He needs to uphold his oath of office. He is not doing so now.
