"In America we worship God, not Government."-Trump. Scary?
This simple statement scares me. Because I don't worship God and I sure don't worship Government, where does that leave us Agnostic and Atheist?

In America we worship, or not, without fear from government interference. Clearly Trump and the horrible people he's pandering to want to change that.
When it comes to matters governmental I'm an ardent secularist. When I'm out in my kayak at sunset floating on water that is turning all sorts of profoundly beautiful colors I'm seeking to feel the divine forces of our world.

He's a provocative reality-show nutcase. He is not for one moment religious unless you include his worshipping money and himself.

Let's look at it for what it is. It is rhetoric. On the one hand he says that we worship god, not government, yet on the other hand he promotes extreme nationalism, worshiping of a rag and song. You see the dichotomy, of course. I heard this sort of talk many years ago and I know where it led. So far, he has made every move any wannabe dictator makes. Unfortunately, a large portion of our population is buying into it.

Actually it's not a large part of the population, remember he lost the popular vote. What he is doing is catering to the born again and racist of this country and thankfully, or maybe not, they are in the minority but speak the loudest.
While this is quite true, ajr715, a mere 10% of our population represents over 32 million people. Actual numbers become important in issues such as this because the number of people willing to take a stand against this nonsense -- or even know that they need to take a stand -- may not be adequate to overcome the inertia of that minority movement. Those wanting theocracy here have made some rather large and disturbing inroads into our government, and Pence is one of them.
Of course he is lying, but he is appealing to the ignorant people who put him in office. Just like his Russian supporters, he is doing everything he can to bring religion more into our government. I have examined a number of pro-Orange Nazi Trump pages on FB, and they are filled with people who believe that he is doing god's work. It has been shown that white evangelicals have voted for him because of his agenda, despite his three marriages, affairs, abuse of women, racial discrimination, and cheating many out of their money.

The Christians are claiming America for themselves and Trump is their fool. America is doomed. It's pathetic.

Ha haaa I do not know, is he their full? or they are the fools - the Christians-
How ever things are what they are, and not how some peoples perception is.
Nearly everything the Orange Menace says and does is idiotic, appalling, and/or terrifying. And that statement from him is just more pandering to his delusional followers that believe everything he says. I don't believe that he is really a Christian, the only things that he worships are money and himself.
