Donald Trump: We don't worship government; we worship God

TRUMP: America has always been the land of dreams because America is a nation of believers. When the Pilgrims landed in Plymouth, they prayed. When the founders wrote the declaration of independence, they invoked our creator four times, because in America we don't worship government, we worship God. That is why our elected officials put their hands on the bible and say "so help me God" as they take the oath of office. It is why our currency proudly declares "in God we trust". And it's why we proudly proclaim that we are one nation under God, every time we say the Pledge of Allegiance. Source: The Faith of Donald J. Trump, by Brody & Lamb, p.302-3 Feb 3, 2018

Donald Trump: Opposes Johnson Amendment barring clergy endorsements

The next day in the Rose Garden, President Trump stood with religious leaders, including representatives from Little Sisters of the Poor, and signed the Presidential Executive Order Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty--looking to kickstart the fulfillment of his campaign promise to put an end to the Johnson Amendment and to ensure religious freedom.

In my Oval Office interview with President Trump, he recognized that executive action on the Johnson Amendment is only the beginning. "Now we want to go through Congress and make it permanent," Trump said. "But we've knocked it, and that was a horrible thing. They're not allowed to get involved, they're not allowed to have any say as to where the country has gone."
