I am almost frightened to enter this debate.................

But, noting the comment by 4runner........

My wife asked me what religion they are. I said they worship the God “money”.

When my wife and I were on exchange in the USA (Alabama) in the late 80's, my mother came for a visit. She was quite religious, so I looked at a very popular local Church that she could go to so that she could satisfy her religious desires. They were very welcoming initially and said that they looked forward to her joining their congregation, until it was evident that she was just a visitor for a month, and would not commit to a percentage of her income to the church. She went just one Sunday - sat alone and was not felt welcome, so she did not go back.

We were absolutely convinced that the Church was more interested in the financial contribution that she might make rather than any religious camaraderie as a congregation.

Where does religion - of whatever manner - sit in all of this?

Is Trump's God money - or a deity?

I don't know.
