Trump attacking not just Biden's faith but anyone who agrees with his policies. Declares "a man of deep religion" could not agree with them, you "can't put that into the realm of a religious group of people." He's essentially declaring half the country's faith illegitimate.
(2/3) Even if Trump is only targeting Democrats, 3/4 of Ds identify as religious (70% Christian, 5% other religions). That’s a lot of Americans to label as heretics based on politics.
(3/3) But note this critical difference:
Nearly half of Dem Christians are not white, compared to only a fraction of Rep Christians. Most Black Christians don’t see the conflict here between their faith and Democratic policies. So what is Trump really saying here?
