There was mention yesterday of Biden's Catholic faith.
Funny, in 5 years you never heard what religious affiliation Trump has.
Other than he had the support of evangelical Christians, he had no church or congregation.
The answer to the subject question is he only worshiped himself.

(182,912 posts)Always positive. A negative means something is wrong and as all powerful leader that would mean I made a mistake and I dont make mistakes so always positive.
Skyrocketing downward positively towards the negative etc.
He starters with the positive and he could never change because that would imply that he was wrong. He (they) lost February and that deadly snowball was rolling.

(36,469 posts)She believes Fred Trump hung his hat on that Power of Positive Thinking meme only, and never even bothered to read his books (He, like the orange anus, were not readers).
The orange anus' attraction to Peale was even shallower: Cozening up to a 'celebrity' was good for business.

(16,858 posts)He made fun of Ben Carson for being a Seventh Day Adventist and then he said he was a Presbyterian, which he thought was more acceptable. I think Norman Vincent Peale's church was Presbyterian. Peale's teachings were the germ of Trump's idea that reality is simply what you wish it to be, not any sort of external facts. I doubt Peale would have approved of Trump's pathological lying, but it is part of his way of making up his own reality.

... former President Donald Trump had pardoned former Google engineer Anthony Levandowski ...
Levandowski was the founder, creator, and high priest of Way Of The Future. Just four years ago, he had explained to Wired how this, the world's first church of artificial intelligence, represented "the realization, acceptance, and worship of a Godhead based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) developed through computer hardware and software" ...
What was the Church of AI trying to tell me? That there was a deity in digital cameras, fidget cubes, and sewing machines? ...
It's a long way from its original promise: "We believe it may be important for machines to see who is friendly to their cause and who is not. We plan on doing so by keeping track of who has done what (and for how long) to help the peaceful and respectful transition" ...
