But I'm an ex-Catholic and now an atheist. I can't be bowing my head or closing my eyes all the time. I still do it occasionally when it is a personal prayer for someone at a wedding or a funeral.

Trump is no Christian. I at least keep some of the values of the faith, but I see nothing of that in Trump.
