Doesn't Trump claim to be a christian yet pronounced second Corinthians as "two" Corinthians...
On the one hand I agree with this because some people use religion to get political leverage even while they might be privately as skeptical as any atheist.
In Hitler's case there seems to be at least anecdotal evidence of him showing significant skepticism and signs that his interests point towards scientific scepticism beyond anecdotal evidence.
On the other hand I don't really care about claims of people not being a true Christian or Muslim because they don't follow the "true" ways of Islam or Christianity.
I think Christians and Muslims can be aggressively violent despite the fact you can cherry pick verses from both the bible and the quran that promote peace for example.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
