He has denied the basic tenet of Christianity.

This was asked of him on live TV. When asked, “Have you asked for God’s forgiveness” Trump said this:

“I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don’t think so,” he said. “I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”

I don't disagree that he is very obviously not a Christian. But I would not simplify it so hard as to say he is an atheist.

Given his narcissism, sympathies for dictators, and the cultish nature of his base, I think it more accurate to say he is an autotheist

Trump is not an atheist. He's a weapons grade narcissist who believes he is divine. HUGE difference.

Your mistake is you are assuming the carpetbagger can read.

I'm an Atheist, and I can quote more than five verses from the Bible. Plus, as an Atheist, I'm offended you called him the same. He more of a c*nt.

He is precisely the man the Bible warns Christians to avoid:

2 Timothy 3:1-5

But know this: Hard times will come in the last days. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, demeaning, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good, 4 traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to the form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid these people.

I spoke with a former nun recently ( neighbor of a friend who was visiting) and she believes he has all the marks of the antichrist. And this is a former Catholic nun!

This was not a frivolous conversation, either. This woman left the order with serious misgivings about how her life and the convent experience changed her, and she explained it to me. Intelligent woman, and I tend to dismiss clergy. She made some real points: world events, plain evil, how he influences people, all of it. I was impressed. There is something wrong with him that tips into rotten dangerous behavior on the part of those around him.

I'm an atheist and I know the Bible better than most self-professed Christians.

Trump may not be a Christian, but it doesn't mean he's an atheist.

As an Evangelical pastor, not only do we who are actually following Jesus know that Trump is not any kind of Christian, I actually am quite certain he is demon-possessed. The man tells supernatural amounts of lies, his racism provokes mass shootings, and he is creating a cult of personality among the gullible that worship him in idolatry. Jesus said Satan is the “father of lies” who comes to “steal, kill, and destroy.” The cult of Trump has every earmark of Satan, who offered Jesus “all the kingdoms of this world” — their lust for power drives them to devotion to him, instead of what God wants. Do not fall for the media’s spin claiming Evangelicals support Trump. It is not pastors like me, with years of theological education, promoting the GOP at all. Jesus’ Kingdom is “not of this world.” But churches are open to every sinner, most American Christians are immature, many who claim Christ are not even believers, and “Christian” Nationalism is a heresy led largely by Catholics (long list) or cringy fringe grifting televangelists (Paula White) who give bogus “prophesies.” They are what the Bible calls “false teachers.” Real Christians do not preach hatred or build walls. We are on a mission to preach the gospel to every nation. I myself have started 5 churches in 3 countries, have an interracial marriage, and never vote Republican. Simply put, the spirit of Trumpism is anti-Christ.

Trump is a con man, he will say anything if he thinks it will help him

His cultists don’t care. Through him, they will get white supremacy, they will get suppression of lgbt people and women, they will get Christian supremacy over other beliefs. He will give them the things they want. He can say anything he wants. He can do whatever immoral sick stuff he wants. They. Don’t. Care.

"Why do I have to repent or ask for forgiveness, if I am not making mistakes?"

• Donald J. Trump

Trump’s not an atheist; his ego is his god.

Of course he's not, anyone with more than a few brain cells to rub together knows he isn't. What he 100% IS, is the very embodiment of the 7 sins

pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth

There should be a fucking picture of tRump next to "the seven sins" when it's googled, he is, again, the absolute very definition of them to the nth degree, i doubt you could find a better example.

Trump isn't an atheist; he just can't be honest about which god he actually worships.

Spoiler: it's himself.

He's actually the antichrist

An opportuni-theist. In jail he would say he followed Allah. In politics he finds religion useful.

His “Christian” Nationalist base said he is the Biblical Darius ruler who wasn’t a Jew but helped the Jews. He doesn’t need to be a believer like them.

He would never say he is an atheist because it is politically damaging as I think you are trying to push him into that category. Also he is not that well thought out. It’s transactional with him and what makes him look good. The meaning of life for him is power and money.

You also think he can be embarrassed. 😳

If you tried to do that at his rallies you might get jumped cause his base are morons

As the Christians say, You're preaching to the choir. I wish anyone who wasn't "one of us" would actually listen and wake the hell up!

Trump is religious. He just worships himself.

Have you EVER encountered a Christian that didn't quote the Bible before him doing that?

Yes, I have. I'm a cultural Roman Catholic, was an altar boy for over ten years and I can't quote the Bible. Sure, I know a few passages sort of but not verbatim.

Of course, I do think DJT is an opportunist that is playing the Evangelicals & other Protestants for chumps, but that goes beyond his non-existent Bible knowledge.

I wouldn't give trump the benefit of considering him an atheist.
That would mean he actually read and investigated religion in general. I doubt he ever gave two craps about it enough to look. He only cares about himself, and whatever benefit he can give to himself. While also trying to actively hurt others.
Narcissist is the best description of him.

No, he believes in himself

He stated that he was an atheist back in the '80s.

Back when I was a Christian would have had a hard time quitting the Bible because I never really read it. It wasn’t till I read the thing that I became an atheist.

It astounds me that he is so fucking lazy that he won’t just commit a couple to memory for the next time he’s asked the question.

It’s crazy that such an idiot could bring down civilization.

He hasn't even read the Bible. Ask him which testament comes first and he'll probably say New.

He is not an Atheist, it's just that the god he worships is named Trump.

He worships himself.

The only god Trump worships is himself.

He’s not an atheist he is an antichrist. He believes he is a supreme being, he could give a shit about your god unless it will get him votes. And he is desperate to prove it to EVERYBODY by getting g elected and doing whatever the fuck he wants to.

On behalf of atheists, I would like to say fuck Trump. We don't claim him. If he had a religion it would be called egocentric-narcissistic-piece-of-shit-ism.

If anything he's an igtheist. He's been described as "incandescently stupid" and he's equally ignorant about this, or any, religion. You probably know more about the Jains than he knows about Christianity. And he can't read.

Asking him to quote the Bible is like calling him out. Ask to lead the group in prayer, and see what he does.

Just because he doesn't believe in your god, doesn't mean that many of your fellow Christians don't worship him in a scary false idol way.

There are no narcissist Christian’s? lol. There are a ton. Are they actual, Christian’s? No, but they do self identify as Christian’s, run church’s, etc…

Hell, most Christers can't quote their own book accurately at all, but that doesn't stop them flapping their lips. Donny certainly has verbal diarrhea. Why can't he riff off a couple of contradictory phrases from two contradictory books (Old & New Testament) to prove his bona fides?

He'd just have his goons drag you out. He doesn't like hecklers.

I think he’s just ignorant of religion (as well as other things) in general.

Religion is a tool to control others, it always has been since its inception.

Trump worships himself first and money is a close second. He thinks the evangelists are fucking idiots. I can't believe they can's see that. It's so obvious, they remind me of a mother who knows her husband is sexually abusing they're daughter and pretends not to know.

Trump is barely human, and he is definitely not remotely an atheist, more of a fascist.

He believes in god because he believes he is god.

Dude he doesn’t care one bit haha. Only for the votes

He isn’t exactly an atheist; that would require more intelligent reflection than he’s capable of. And he only has the vaguest idea of what Christianity or other religions are about. He did once say that his favorite Bible verse was “an eye for an eye”, probably because that’s the only line he knew - ironically the one line that Jesus supposedly rejected in favor of turning the other cheek.

His only god is himself.

I don't think he's intelligent enough to be an atheist.

Trump is actually the devil.

The problem is getting the cult to understand this.

This is completely obvious to anyone with any degree of critical thought. Like, you should be able to come to this conclusion somewhere around the age of 10, yet… here we are.

It's astounding how horrible the guy is

I agree with you on pretty much everything, but for the record, I am a Christian (although I hate calling myself one these days), and I never quote scripture to anyone.

God complex ties in with malignant narcissism. Forbhim the jniverses is his head so far jo hisbkwn ass he'll never see the light of day again. Also explains the victimhood and tantrums that toddlers are more mature at throwing.

💯He put his show on to get the votes of the gullible.

$5,000 is correct but it should be 100%, not %100.

I’m roughly Christian (Catholic school for 12 years) but I can’t quote the Bible. FWIW.

He’s an anarchist

Trump's mind is too child-like and narcissistic to be an atheist. At best he doesn't know but has occasional thoughts of being God's chosen one.

Trump literally does not have the brains to be a conscious atheist.

For number 2, his campaign would research this and come out with some materials. Now would Trump say it, only if they put it on his teleprompter.

He is an atheist and also a piece of shit

You have a nice pipe dream with the idea of getting him to respond to something negative at one of his controlled rallies. If he doesn't give a reporter who is interviewing him an answer, IMO he would have security escort you or anyone else or the door.

There is nothing wrong with being an atheist. Former guy lies to collect money and votes, sometimes about religion.

He is not smart enough to be an atheist.

There are many different forms of practicing christians and many who believe in God without following the tenets of the bible. Atheism is a wholesale rejection of the existence of a God or gods and the entire institution of religion.

What you have cited is not evidence that Trump is an atheist, only that he is far less devout than the church you grew up in.

I know Christians who couldn't quote the bible if their life depended on it. That sort of thing is more common in the norther states, though.

1. It would not bother an atheist to make a profit from selling Bibles.

Why don’t a group of like 30 of us get matching shirts with some hilariously dumb “God had three sons. Jesus. Trump. The Bible. And The American Constitution.” With like Trump being coddled by a ghost Jesus and like Karen our way to the front and do this. It would completely work.

He's a mason.

Specifically Solar Temple

🚨🚨🚨🚨 he's actually a Nihilistic creep who sees himself as GOD.

They'll only claim he's atheist after he commits genocide.
