    I don’t believe for a moment that he is actually even remotely religious. I suspect he’s at most an apathetic agnostic. We all know he simply panders to Christians to get their support. He sees them as suckers who he can grift, just like their preachers do.

      I buy it.

      If you spend enough time near people on their way out you will find even agnostic and atheist praying at times, Pascals wager and all that. Almost everyone is scared of death, including those that won’t admit. One bad doctors visit can turn people religious.
