Why? Many Christians want religious doctrine imposed in law and feel
like moviePig about the First Amendment. They want religion established
in their favor and would not allow the free exercise of other religions.
Trump made that political deal with McConnell to get federal judges
appointed who would use religious interpretation of statute and the
constitution.

They don't give a shit about Trump's personal morality. He's a means to
an end.

This is why I object to people like Mike Pence and Nikki Haley who
reject neutrality of civil law with respect to religion. It's a very
serious problem when it comes to certain forms of worship in which
imposing religion upon others is an important part of their religious
belief. Yeah, well, they get to freely exercise religion within their
own homes and congregations but they MUST NOT prevent anyone else from
freely exercising his own religion.

What has caused more war and a greater loss of life than forced
religious conversion? Nothing is more evil.
