Donald Trump says America should "forget about" the separation of church and state
He doesn't give AF about religion he's no fucking moral centre. This is lip service to his base
Since when have religion and morality had anything to do with one another?
Religion is a moral code. He doesn't have a moral code
Religion is a control mechanism draped in fake moral superiority. People don't need to believe in fairy tales to distinguish right from wrong. The evidence of those that do believe in fairy tales and can't tell right from wrong is overwhelming.
ETA: In fact, I would argue that anyone that thinks they need some holy book or religious leader to tell them what's right and what's wrong has a serious problem.
Seriously. Anyone who says that without religion society would be rampant crime such as rape and murder is immediately suspect. They're especially claiming that they'd be out there raping and murdering except their religion keeps them in check. When's the last time you heard of an atheist committing horrible crimes? Stalin and Mao? We know that morality exists outside of a religious cage.
And for all Stalin did, Putin has more power than ever, partially because he brought religion back.
Religion can also be a WEAPONIZED moral code. And America has had a history of weaponizing it's idea of morality. So nothing new here, just more extreme.
Religion is a tool for exploitative social control.
