I don’t believe I’m contradicting myself at all. Personally, yes as a Christian myself, I’m very exited to have a President that believes in Christ as I fully trust he will lead our country in the right direction. I never said however that our Government should force this religion on anyone nor govern by it. There is a difference between having a President who is being led by God in his governance and a government who enforces religious rules upon its people. I trust in the first not the latter. I fully believe in the Constitution as the basis of our government and with a healthy separation from the church. We can have seperation of Church and Government while still acknowledging there is a God and that we are a nation under God. Religion and spirituality is not the same. We don’t need religion - we need religious freedom which is what I pointed to with the Founding Fathers and their tolerance of different religions.
You have a right to your opinion. I still stand strong on mine; I can believe in Christ and be excited the White House will finally be a house of the true living God while still believing in religious freedom for all. Separation of church does not mean our President can not display his own faith. It only means we are not governed by religion or its rules. Believing in Christ does not necessarily make you religious as spirituality and religion is not the same.

Going to have to agree to disagree on that. 🤷♀️

Understood.
