You joke, but those are gonna be why he gets elected to the presidency in 2020.

Why else would he, a once-vocal atheist, start talking publicly about the value of religion?

It's common knowledge that to win elections in the United States you must espouse a belief in God. It doesn't have to translate to any religiously indicated or pro-social real-world behaviors, but you do have to say the words.
