Religion has a lot to do with the rote thinking and learning practices that have been pushed in schools and churches for centuries. Tradition shaped by religion has shaped cultures and governments for many, many centuries.

But the US broke away from the kings, monarchs and ‘the Churches’ affiliated with those monarchs, and created a secular government grounded in democracy, freedom and justice for all.

So now we have come full circle… with these ‘Heritage’ P25 people trying to take over our democratic government and insert their own chosen leaders and dictators to assert their own racist, sexist and xenophobic vision of how this country should be run, according to their religious or ‘God’ beliefs… ‘my way or the highway’ philosophy.

Trump is just a useful idiot to them. He does the distracting while they work in the background.
