Trump Vows to Return Prayer to Public Schools; Says "A Society without Religion Cannot Prosper"

U.S. President Donald Trump on January 3 said his Democratic opponents would tear down crosses, but he pledged to bring prayer to public schools at a re-election rally to shore up evangelical support, the Reuters website reports today (January 8, 2020).

Trump made the statements while speaking on the outskirts of Miami at the King Jesus International Ministry, a "prosperity gospel" church.

"We are defending religion itself; it's under siege," Trump said.

More than 80% of white evangelicals voted for Trump in the 2016 election.
