Curious how US skeptics feel about this viewpoint. I am English so my slant on things may be somewhat skewed. From here I see what seems to be a general shifting in the US from what was deeply held as a strong founding principle- the separation of church from state. But it seems to me that this is a barrier that is being eroded. Looking at Trump’s performance it looks to me as an outsider that he is placing religion more and more centrally. Is this just me. Or is this actually reflected in your experiences as Americans? I see him regularly holding prayer meetings and publicising these - does this behaviour not actually represent a breach of this founding pillar. And if so could anything be done to prevent it?

As a veteran of the Cold War era, I can confirm the emphasis on making that time a religious themed conflict. "Kill a Commie For Mommie" is an example of the rhetoric we as line officers were subjected to. Now, I see a tremendous Christian radicalization of the military. The senior officer cadre' is striving to take us (USA) into the next Crusade.
