This is a great article about Religion and Trump and the attempted January 6th coup at the Capitol. It is mainly addressed to members of the Jewish faith, but applies to all religions. Coup d'état
A coup or coup d'état
is the removal of an existing government from power, usually through violent means. Typically, it is an illegal,
unconstitutional seizure of power by a political faction, the military or a dictator. Wikipedia religionnews.com/2021/01/11/trump-capitol-religion/?utm_source=spotim&utm_medium=spotim_recirculation |

Someone, I forgot who it was said, "Religion is a disease that rots the brain."
Jim Jones managed to convince his believers to pour poison down the throats of their babies. Their babies! Their little babies!!
BIG difference between religion and spirituality. One demands we follow a list of man made rules and regulations so when we die we won't burn and suffer for eternity. The other asks us to see this planet, here and now, as a beautiful creation for us, as well as all other living beings, to enjoy. It is our home. We need to protect, worship, and enjoy it while we are here. To have reverence for our home and not spend too much time worrying about what happens when we are no longer here, and stop demanding everybody believes the same things as we do.
The people who destroyed the capitol, that crazed, dangerous, and out of control deadly mob could be very religious people. Lest we forget the Republicans like to call themselves The Party Of God. Which god would that be? Satan? Just wondering.

Trump evangelicals are very much behind the storming of the capitol...

We have some here in Australia that we need to ask of ourselves too. |

Our wise Founding Fathers did all they could to keep religious belief systems out of their new government. They knew the danger of joining them.
