This is not about religion,

[duforsure]

trump is using religion to divide with now, not about the health of the people, and not about religious beliefs , its about dividing people with religion for political purposes by trump. He goes from one group to another trying to do this , then pits the two groups against each other while he threatens, and incites them with BS claims and accusations. trump is using religion for political reasons, and it should be enough to make people realize how dangerous he really is, and hopefully some will run from someone doing this, unless you're willing to risk your life for a phony salesman selling you a dream based on fraud. He did this before too with his drug he's been promoting. Many Church leaders are not agreeing with him on this now. Will he start threatening them next?

1. Religion in America today

is a mixed bag. Some religion follow the teaching of Jesus and some follow half baked right-wing preachers whos teaching have nothing in common with Jesus. Its the half baked right-wing ones who are the greatest threat to America and her ideals today. They are also the ones pushing to reopen with no regard for the consequences to other people. For the right-wing preacher its all about the money just like it is for Republican politicians.

2. Yes they cherry-pick religious themes that do not involve self-sacrifice

No no, those are political losers (as important as they may have been to Jesus). Danger! Better to focus on abortion and tax breaks for churches and perceived religious persecution.

If "other groups" have to make a few sacrifices, that's A-OK.

3. Not just Trump. The GOP. The One Percent. Corporatists. All working to create hatred ...

ignorance, fear, and panic, the true four horsemen.

5. Yes, Trump is the symptom. Neoliberalism is the disease.
