Every president has been Christian. Hell, I bet you could find instances of most of them quoting the bible. None of them tried that.
Why would that change now?
If this dude is "just another christian" then you're as crazy as the bible is false.

Soooo…. We just going to pretend that separation of church and state is still a thing right? Because if we dismiss that, than the 2ndA is fair game.

The establishment clause does not call for a separation of church and state
Takes less than 10 seconds of googling to find out this is false:
By it, the federal government of the United States and, by later extension, the governments of all U.S. states and U.S. territories, are prohibited from establishing or sponsoring religion
The Establishment Clause is a limitation placed upon the United States Congress preventing it from passing legislation establishing an official religion, and by interpretation making it illegal for the government to promote theocracy or promote a specific religion with taxes. The Free Exercise Clause prohibits the government from preventing the free exercise of religion. While the Establishment Clause does prohibit Congress from preferring one religion over another, it does not prohibit the government's involvement with religion to make accommodations for religious observances and practices in order to achieve the purposes of the Free Exercise Clause.

At least do a basic search on a topic before you misinform others.

The founding fathers never intended a complete separation.
Are you stupid?
Rule 3 Violation.
Do yourself a favor and make an argument...as tedious as it may be.
Make an argument with a person that more than likely thinks that the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause are Santa’s origin story and a non-profit cardio fitness program he created to stay fit during the slow months?
Impossible!

Separation of church and state was part of the origin story of America, that states were violating it since- doesn’t unwrite the constitution.
This isn’t about how much you can say to sound like you know what you’re talking about- it’s about the simple fact that separation of church and state was there from the beginning.

Deists are not Christians just as Christians are not Deists. The terms are incompatible.
Look up the Establishment Clause. Then get back to me.

So… like a typical conservative- you’re just going to skip over the part that applies, and argue against the one that doesn’t?
We’re done here kid. I’m not wasting my time with you anymore, so I’m going to block you now. Based on your comment history- I’m not going to be missing any quality content from you in doing so.

HAH!
Dude you lost this argument the moment it started:
The Establishment Clause is a limitation placed upon the United States Congress preventing it from passing legislation establishing an official religion, and by interpretation making it illegal for the government to promote theocracy or promote a specific religion with taxes.
The Free Exercise Clause prohibits the government from preventing the free exercise of religion.
While the Establishment Clause does prohibit Congress from preferring one religion over another, it does not prohibit the government's involvement with religion to make accommodations for religious observances and practices in order to achieve the purposes of the Free Exercise Clause.
Just stop man. You’re embarrassing yourself.

My god you’re embarrassing! It’s almost adorable!
Please do not name call. It's part of rule 1. Consider this a warning.
For the record, where was their warning when they said the other person “looked silly?” or are we showing a bias?
EDIT: Yeah. I thought as much.

Here's some more language that the Christians in the room should understand: wolf in sheep's clothing.
