All of which has no bearing whatsoever on the religious rights of ALL U.S. CITIZENS and the President's duty to recognize them equally.

The President has no duty to 'recognize' the various religions of the world in any fashion. -- In fact, the 1st amendment specifically instructs our governments to refrain from respecting the establishments [the precepts/dogmas] of religions.
As Saber has argued, in a time of quasi-religious war, the president would be wise to confine himself to his constitutional duties, and leave religious remarks to the clergy.

"The President has no duty to 'recognize' the various religions of the world in any fashion."
We're talking about the religious faith of American citizens.

No, you were talking of the presidents 'duty'.
It is not his job to pep talk religious groups. --- Get real jack.

-- That and your silly effort to paint objections to the presidents religious agit-prop as somehow being 'unpatriotic'.
