1. @DonaldJTrumpJr - Technically, the United States of America does not have a state religion, and we have an Establishment Clause that prevents such.
Realistically, we do: It's the manipulated "Christianity" that justified slavery and genocide and protects the powerful.

2. @DonaldJTrumpJr - It's a version of the Christian religion that flavored the doctrine of Manifest Destiny and now flavors MAGA. It is the doctrine manipulated by @700club, popularized by Prosperity Gospel preachers and megachurches.
3. @DonaldJTrumpJr - It has less to do with compassion and with Jesus' teaching that the meek will inherit the Earth, and more with making sure they never do so. It has less to do with the Narrow Way that few will find, and more to do with becoming a viral sensation.
4. @DonaldJTrumpJr - & certainly, it seems a lot like the kind of religion, the kind of manipulation of Christ's teachings, that would be right up your & @realDonaldTrump's alley.
So yeah, if I'm "Triggered" by anything, it's by the realization of our country's embracing of it.

5. @DonaldJTrumpJr - The Establishment Clause, and its Constitutional soundness, would give me pause to consider making America into a genuinely Christian theocracy. But considering the distortion of Christianity into what it's long been here in America, that's much worse.
6. @DonaldJTrumpJr - Anti-environmentalist, anti-science, anti-intellectual, racist, sexist, aggressively pro-Capitalist, and unbelievably full of cognitive dissonance: It's turned us into a stagnatopia that almost makes dystopias like "Blade Runner" look preferable.
7. @DonaldJTrumpJr - At the very least, it makes us sit and wonder how and why the future passed us by. Maybe preachers like @Franklin_Graham, @robertjeffress, Pat Robertson, etc. feared dystopia so much they preferred to mire us in our bigoted past.
8. @DonaldJTrumpJr - We need growth, change, and progress. You and @realDonaldTrump and @GOP so want to preserve the wealth of the already wealthy, the power of the already powerful, that you actively resist growth, change, and progress. You should step down from power.
9. @DonaldJTrumpJr - We the People should never have put your family in power, and especially should not have done so under the impression that it was anything resembling God's Will for our country.
Yes. I hate your religion. It has no legitimate place in our government.
