Maybe a deal with Xi?

Who is this knucklehead? It's like trying to say, there's a choice in what we believe. So he wants people to say they believe in the man in the sky just to get along... Or that currency only has value because it says In God we trust. I think that's called living a lie.
Actually, if you're an American, you have a right to believe as you choose.
