PETER ALEXANDER (HOST): So pastor, today Bishop E.W. Jackson, a Virginia pastor who attended the meeting today that Trump held, published this video of Trump on his Twitter account. Take a listen very quickly.

DONALD TRUMP: We don't know anything about Hillary in terms of religion. Now she's been in the public eye for years and years and yet there's no -- there's nothing out there. There's, like, nothing out there. It's going to be an extension of Obama, but it's going to be worse because with Obama, you had your guard up. With Hillary, you don't. And it's going to be worse.
[VIDEO OUT]
ALEXANDER: Donald Trump there saying we don't know anything about Hillary in terms of religion. In fact, we do. She's been public about her Methodist faith. She's spoken about it, she's written about it. She attended church. She actually had a close relationship to Billy Graham. So is Hillary Clinton's faith the real source of concern?
TONY PERKINS: First off, I don't think faith should be used as a weapon. I think faith is a building block, it’s a bridge. And I think what people are looking for, in fact most of the polling suggests 60 percent of Americans want a leader who readily recognizes God, prays to God. I think it's the fact that they want someone to whom this political figure will be accountable when they're not watching. So faith is a very important part of our political process. Today was a discussion about policy issues and how one's faith guides those issues. Today was conservative evangelical social conservatives.
ALEXANDER: But this, Mr. Perkins, to be fair, this was also from today. He questioned the president's religion. Also questioned Hillary Clinton's.
[...]
We saw him criticizing Ted Cruz's faith, questioning Ben Carson's faith, questioning the Mormon faith of Mitt Romney. You say that faith should not be used as a weapon in a campaign. This candidate, the Republican presumptive nominee, has used it repeatedly throughout the course of the campaign and today again questioned his Democratic rival's faith. How do you react to that?
