If not, you have no standing to assume anything about anyone's morality or religious convictions.
On Sept. 23, 2019, president Trump spoke to the UN General Assembly (reps of 130 nations present)
"The United States is founded on the principle that our rights do not come from government; they come from God. This immortal t***h is proclaimed in our Declaration of Independence and enshrined in the First Amendment to our Constitution’s Bill of Rights. Our Founders understood that no right is more fundamental to a peaceful, prosperous, and virtuous society than the right to follow one’s religious convictions.
Regrettably, the religious freedom enjoyed by American citizens is rare in the world. Approximately 80 percent of the world’s population live in countries where religious liberty is threatened, restricted, or even banned. And when I heard that number, I said, “Please go back and check it because it can’t possibly be correct.” And, sadly, it was. Eighty percent.
As we speak, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, Yazidis, and many other people of faith are being jailed, sanctioned, tortured, and even murdered, often at the hands of their own government, simply for expressing their deeply held religious beliefs. So hard to believe.
Today, with one clear voice, the United States of America calls upon the nations of the world to end religious persecution.
To stop the crimes against people of faith, release prisoners of conscience, repeal laws restricting freedom of religion and belief, protect the vulnerable, the defenseless, and the oppressed, America stands with believers in every country who ask only for the freedom to live according to the faith that is within their own hearts.
As President, protecting religious freedom is one of my highest priorities and always has been. Last year, our Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, hosted the first-ever Ministerial to Advance International Religious Freedom.
In this year’s ministerial, Secretary Pompeo announced plans to create the International Religious Freedom Alliance — an alliance of likeminded nations dev**ed to confronting religious persecution all around the world.
I’ve appointed a special envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism. We’re standing up for almost 250 million Christians around the world who are persecuted for their faith. It is estimated that 11 Christians are k**led every day for the following — I mean, just think of this: Eleven Christians a day, for following the teachings of Christ. Who would even think that’s possible in this day and age?"

The only thing necessary to assess someone's moral and religious standing is to be objective. In fact, without objectivity, you lack the perspective necessary to judge what is and isn't moral. This might well explain why you and your fellow CC's fall flat on your face when it comes to the subject of what is and isn't moral...ie, Bill Clinton was a horrible sinner so you could never v**e for him but Donald Trump (who was/is a worse sinner) you had/have zero qualms in v****g for. You are hypocrites of the worst kind and trying to hide behind the 'well you don't have the standing to judge me' is just hypocritical bulls**t because you are one of the more subjective people on this board and have no problem judging everyone on it even though you lack the objectivity necessary to do so.
