Good news: Gowdy pushes back on Trump's religious message

http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/26/politics/trey-gowdy-erin-burnett-outfront-faith-religion-government-god-cnntv/index.html

From the trail to Twitter, Donald Trump has stuck by his philosophy on faith.

"In America, we don't worship government. We worship God," he preached at a rally Tuesday evening.

...

Joining Erin Burnett live on CNN, Rep. Trey Gowdy shared his reaction to Trump's take:

"If President Trump wants to share his faith, more power to him," noted the Republican from South Carolina. "Our country recognizes all religions, including no religion."


Wow, Trey Gowdy acknowledging religious freedom (including freedom from it)? That's great news! Fighting against religious bigotry!

They will take crazy, extreme positions and say things about religion when it gets them votes, even when down deep they don't believe it!

sing trump's praises and talk about how godly trump is. I was sure Gowdy would claim trumpy is ordained by God to do his work, including removing the GLBT from the sacred military, the Armed Forces of God and Trump.
