    Trump is not an atheist. He's a pretender who will say whatever the fuck he thinks makes him look good

      Actually one of his staff who was of the MANY arrested testified that behind closed doors after getting back from a rally… Trump commented on his religious followers by saying something to the effect of "Can you believe people really go for that kind of stuff"

      In reference to the existence of God.

      If he doesn't believe in God he is by definition an atheist

          I mean if he were a New Atheist then I'd agree.

          But he seems to be just your average run of the mill, simply doesn't believe in God types.

      Why do you think Trump is spiritual/religious in ANY way?

        He certainly claims to be, and i guarantee you he would never proclaim to be an outright atheist (unless of course it was socially or politically advantageous).

        Trump is a fucking liar in all regards.

      Does declaring yourself an atheist make yourself look good in American politics in your experience?
