"As Americans, we cherish our freedom to worship and we remain committed to welcoming individuals of all religions."

That is from the President's message. As long as the Constitution provides religious freedom for all it's citizens then the President's obligation to Muslim Americans is no less then his obligation to Christian Americans. If he were to no longer issue any religious messages whatsoever then it would be proper to not issue a statement for Americans of the Muslim faith.

Until then, as their President, and as they are also citizens of this nation, his statement is proper.

Satanism is a religion practiced by some Americans. Should the President make statments of goodwill to Satanism?

Not enough Satanists yet? What if it grows in popularity?

What about paganism? How about a revival of Molech-worship?

America is a secular Christian nation, tolerant of other religions. That we don't persecute them doesn't mean we have to blow sunshine at them.

Until then, as their President, and as they are also citizens of this nation, his statement is proper.

He is also the President of citizens who are Satanists, pagans, or Molech-revivalists.

How should the President properly address them?

I'd suggest he's already done so: not at all.
