10. I think it's a mistake on the medias part to characterize them that way.

As to whether they are "devout" or not, I don't care. For the media to call them that implies that they have some sort of moral compass. Most people think religious people are "doing the right thing" and with the kushers nothing in their behavior or actions speaks to me about being good people.

They are con artists using religion to justify their bad behavior, nothing more.
