After the Trump bible/church photo op, it seems clear how religion is often used to manipulate believers. Agree or Disagree?

I've always agreed religion has been used to manipulate believers. 

And I'm a Christian. 

Why is it when Trump takes his Bible across to St John's, it creates an uproar? Nobody even mentioned that Antifa tried to burn the church down the night before! When Bill Clinton took his Bible across to St John's when he was in office, everyone thought it was an honorable act and he became the darling of faith among Democrats.  

Disagree.  At least he held one before.  How about Creepy Joe attending his first black funeral as a political prop?  Now there's a prop!  Biden, the man who referred to Obama as the "first black man to take a bath and talk right."  Remember, you aren't black if you don't vote for Biden.

It clear others should improve on Trump's display instead of demonizing Trump.

I know when you point out any politician the don't like is a Christian, at least some of them believe that politician only says they're Christian to get votes. But I think they still believe only the people they don't like are using the religion to manipulate people. Everyone tends to be slower to recognize when their own team is also manipulating them.

Sure it is...as is politics.

That was an attempt at potent combination of both, but he botched it.

He excels at botchery.

Wait until he wants a a Big Mac and large fries and see what happens.

Nothing new.  Presidents have quoted scripture.  LBJ quoted from Isaiah 1, "Come now let us reason together".

It goes the other way too. You have Joe Biden who is a practicing Catholic,  but he's all about late term abortions in order to get the ant-religious vote. He'll sell his own soul. That's worse than pretending you have a soul, no?

Agree.  Attacking peaceful protesters to clear a path for him to pretend that God is on his side is one of the most flagrant misuses of religious symbolism in recent memory.
