"Our" religion.
Dude doesn't even know how to orient a Bible for a photo op, and couldn't name his favorite part - or any part - of the Bible in an interview.
The closest he gets to studying Christianity is sitting next to a book of Hitler's speeches for inspiration via osmosis from a Catholic.
That he can be so successful with the religious right says quite a lot about their critical reasoning abilities.
I guess maybe raising children not to question anything and to commit themselves to obeying authority might not have been the best idea in retrospect...
There is a worse example than that! At a panel in 2015, he was asked if he has ever prayed for forgiveness, and he said no. It's the core part of protestant conversion, and he denied doing it and seemed confused by the concept.

I mean, why would he? You have to feel as though you’ve done something wrong in order to ask for forgiveness. I genuinely don’t think Trump has ever done anything that he recognizes as wrong. I think you could get him to recognize that he’s done things that have hurt people, intellectually, but at best he’d say it was someone else’s fault and/or they deserved it.
Well yeah, but he as often as possible gets his little wine and his little cracker...
I get the feeling if you asked him what those represented and why, he'd flub the answer and have to redirect to talking about "The Power of Positive Thinking" again.

It's a cult. They aren't consistent with the values of Christianity, because it's just an aesthetic. The cult itself is always first. In-group vs out-group. Ally vs enemy.
Tankies are the same. Communism is just an aesthetic, the cult is always first.
