RUSH LIMBAUGH (HOST): They are phonies. These are the people that tried to keep you from going to church. Look at what they did to Trump when he went over to the church on the other side of Lafayette park. Look how they tried to destroy that.
Look at how they tried to destroy the Moral Majority, the Jerry Falwells and the Billy Grahams.

So it is not incorrect to say that they’ve got a problem with God. I’ll tell you what, their God is not — is not ours. Their God is some inanimate tree or a series of trees — the environment or some such thing. And this has been the case for as long as I have been doing the show and before. But it’s one of these things, you’re just not supposed to say it. You're just not supposed to call them — but Trump does, Trump calls them out on it.

So here, we got — here's a little Drive-By montage, just outraged that Trump would say that Biden is against God.

RUSH: How — the media, you know, they don’t particularly care much about religion, either. You can't — folks, you cannot be an American leftist today, and also be religious in the traditional sense. You just can’t be. They are not pro-God type people, certainly not pro-Christian.
To come along, “He’s a devout Catholic.” Well, based on what? “Well, he’s had, his son died, and he was — a funeral for — devout — Catholicism has seen him through some very tough days.”
That’s a crutch. It’s a crutch that liberal Democrat politicians are allowed to lean on.
