WATCH: Mike Pence Says More Americans Believe in God Now That Trump is President



Vice President Mike Pence delivered the commencement address to graduating students at a small, private, ultra-conservative Christian college in Michigan Saturday afternoon. Many consider the former Indiana governor a devout Catholic, and his speech certainly supported that perception.
The Vice President told the Hillsdale College graduating class that because Donald Trump is now president, more Americans believe in God.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Pence

Hillsdale College is also a conservative "Christian" (not) college.

And, yes, he is delusional. And just plain weird.
This whole so-called "administration" is a clear and present danger to our country.

showing people, especially younger ones, drifting away from religion. However, it's also possible that the horrors of the Trump administration have caused some to turn to religion in desperation because nothing else seems to be working.

Then they go on to prove how ungodly their attitudes are. Not willing to listen to these phonies blather on about their so-called faith. These phonies will be judged by their actions not by their words. They need to pray for forgiveness.
