His very left-wing social agenda, some of which was defeated in courts. But, he was probably the first president who fully embraced the idea of America as a post-Christian nation and went all-in on secular, left-wing values.
America never was a Christian nation
But we were, in my lifetime, a Christian-IZED nation. A nation where the Christian influence of our Founding Fathers wes taught in schools and celebrated. Where the Church, and the idea of God were held by people with a degree of reverance, even if they were not religious. Where the Ten Commandments were the standard for public morailty, even among unbelievers. Where, despite differences, when American prayed, they were, for the most part, praying to the same God.
Why it surprises people that we, as a nation, have experienced more disunity as we become less Christianized is a mystery to me. That we, as a people, prayed to the same God was a unifying force. Those days are gone, and they are not likely to come back, short of a miracle of God, Himself. But let's not kid ourselves; the secularism today that is a secularism steeped in open hostility to the idea of a God that is, indeed, an Authority Figure, has not always been the dominant moral force in our society. I'm old enough to remember when it wasn't.
The Big Bad Scary Brown Muslims pray to the same God you do and you hate them anyway.
A bunch of extremely devout Christians from Central America want to move here and you don't want them here because they aren't white.
Just admit that it was never about Christianity with your type - it was always about race.
