Hillary Clintons Christianity, which she wielded as a political weapon in her 2008 Democratic presidential primary campaign, largely has been missing in this years election.
She hasnt hidden her Methodist upbringing, but scholars say its not front and center. And where in the past she used it as a window into her character, this year shes deployed it as a debate tactic to push criminal justice reform and other policy goals.
Church attendance also has been all but absent from Mrs. Clintons schedule, except when shes turned up behind a pulpit to stump for votes, particularly in predominantly black churches, where her appearances focus largely on how she intends to work with religious leaders to accomplish shared political objectives.
Since 2008 shes also abandoned traditional Christian positions on issues such as same-sex marriage, coming in favor of the practice in 2013 after years of opposing it.
The reason for the shift, analysts say, is twofold. Mrs. Clinton is taking on an opponent, Republican Donald Trump, who is seen as one of the most nonreligious presidential candidates in modern history. Pew polling from earlier this year found that just 30 percent of American voters say they consider Mr. Trump religious, while 48 percent said the same about Mrs. Clinton.
Perhaps more importantly, she now leads a party that, among its white base, if not its core black and Hispanic members, has become an increasingly secular institution. Recent polling shows the Democratic Party includes in its ranks nearly four times as many atheists and agnostics as the GOP.

I don’t disbelieve Putin having a religious experience. Trump either.
Larry Nichols had said that Hillary would go to Ca and attend a witches coven of sorts. I dunno - no facts to back it up other than what Larry Nichols shared.
After Trump’s ‘annointing’ especially in a predominately black Church, Hillary will be looking for her own, probably from someone like the Reverend Sharpton or the Reverend Jackson.
She cannot afford to have someone ask her about Trump being and she not being.
Also that’s interesting that the parents went to Norman Vincent Peale’s church. Power of positive thinking. Explains a lot.
That wouldn’t surprise me at all.
I guess Pickles gave up Christianity for Lent one year and never took it back.
And Obama reminds me of her baby....
“Clintons Christian faith, once a political weapon, all but absent from campaign”
That’s what happens when someone with dyslexia does the headlines: the actual version would be “Once a political campaign weapon, Christian faith all but absent from Clintons”
Dims are the party of darkness.
She has the Jezebel Spirit.
God hates liars: (Prov. 4:16, Prov. 12:22) and will condemn “all liars” to hell (Rev. 21;8) God calls Satan “the father of lies.” The Bible has as many reference to truth as it does to love. No one can lie habitually and call themselves “Christian.”
It’s a few decades too late for Hillary to cast herself as a good Methodist girl. That one doesn’t pass the laugh test. Besides, how is she supposed to suck up to Muslims?
She’s the candidate of the party that booed God at its convention!
God condemns necromancers, and those that use them. Our Lord Jesus would refuse to talk to anyone through a necromancer.

However, Samuel the prophet and judge did it but he didn’t bring good news to Saul though.
