Religious Freedom Day has been officially proclaimed on January 16 in an annual statement by the President of the United States since

1993.

 

 I didn't see this as even being mentioned in any major news! Many taking part in the capitol riots were so called religious, I wonder how many actually went inside.

 

This paragraph sums up his religious rhetoric:

 

 Coming at a time of social turbulence, critics accused Trump of following authoritarian-leaning world leaders by sidling up to religion to reinforce an image as a strongman defending a particular brand of tradition. Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington Mariann Budde said as much, commenting that Trump used the Bible at St. John’s “as if it were a prop or an extension of his military and authoritarian position.” https://theconversation.com/trumps-use-of-religion-follows-playbook-of-authoritarian-leaning-leaders-the-world-over-140050
