Trump closed his remarks with a pledge “to bring back religion to America, because without borders, law and order and religion, you really don’t have a country anymore.” The slogan of fascist Italy was more concise: Dio, Patria, Famiglia.

    I grew up in a protestant Christian church in northern Europe. Nothing but love and preaching about acceptance and inclusion. Lots of work sending aid to people in need in Africa. Lots of focus on Africa, I remember.

    I grew up and kind of out of the religious aspects of the church, but I will always live by the values that were upheld in church, about inclusion and acceptance and everyone’s equal value, and right to live and love, etc. Also love for homosexual people and other such minorities in society. People with addiction etc.

    This church has not veered from its roots a single bit since then.

    Not all religion is bad, but there will always be loud and bad people who twist things out of proportion, unfortunately. I’m Christianity, in Islam, in Judaism, everywhere.
