Trump speaks to Values Voter Summit
So Trump just spoke at the annual Values Voter Summit, a Christian conservative gathering. Here’s an article about what was said,

Some of the highlights include;
"We know that it's the family and the church — not government officials — who know best how to create strong and loving communities," Trump said.
"We are stopping cold the attacks on Judeo-Christian values," Trump said to applause.”
He got a standing ovation when he talked of appointing Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. Trump noted he signed a religious liberty order on the National Day of Prayer that eased enforcement of the Johnson Amendment, which regulated political activity of churches. And he reminded the crowd that last week he also weakened the contraception mandate in the Affordable Care Act, which some religious groups like the Little Sisters of the Poor opposed.
The president also returned to a familiar campaign trail refrain, promising that as the holiday season approaches "We're saying 'Merry Christmas' again."
Do you agree or disagree with these statements? Do you think it’s okay for a president to be so vocal about a religion?
