Quotations:

"We will always support our Evangelical community, and defend your right, and the right of all Americans, to follow and to live by the teachings of their faith. And as you know, we’re under siege." -- Remarks at the Faith and Freedom Coalition's Road to Majority Conference, Jun 9, 2017

"An honor to join the @FaithandFreedom Coalition yesterday. In America, we don't worship government. We worship God. #FaithandFreedom" -- Tweet, Jun 9, 2017 01:28:41 PM

"We must remember this truth: No matter our color, creed, religion or political party, we are ALL AMERICANS FIRST." -- Tweet, 12 Aug 2017 2:19 PM

"America is a nation of believers, and together we are strengthened by the power of prayer.
" . . .
"Our rights are not given to us by man; our rights come from our Creator. (Applause.) No matter what, no Earthly force can take those rights away. (Applause.) That is why the words “Praise be to God” are etched atop the Washington Monument, and those same words are etched into the hearts of our people.
" . . .
"When Americans are able to live by their convictions, to speak openly of their faith, and to teach their children what is right, our families thrive, our communities flourish, and our nation can achieve anything at all." -- Annual National Prayer Breakfast, 8 February 2018

"Yesterday, I was also pleased to host leaders for a discussion about an ironclad American commitment: protecting religious leaders and also protecting religious freedom. This fundamental right is under growing threat around the world. Hard to believe, but 80 percent of the world’s population lives in countries where religious liberty is in significant danger or even completely outlawed. Americans will never fire or tire in our effort to defend and promote freedom of worship and religion. We want and support religious liberty for all." -- Address to the 74th United Nations General Assembly, 25 September 2019

"We have taken decisive action to protect the religious liberty –- so important. Religious liberty has been under attack all over the world, and, frankly, very strongly attacked in our nation.
" . . .
"Sadly, the far-left is actively working to erase our God-given rights, shut down faith-based charities, ban religious believers from the public square, and silence Americans who believe in the sanctity of life." -- Address at the 47th Annual March for Life, 24 January 2020
