I well remember that Reagan and his wife were very much into New Age spirituality,  and only occasionally took awkward photo ops at an Episcopal church for appearances sake.   Nancy regularly consulted an astologer about her husband's daily schedule after he was shot.   In today's political environment I wonder if he could even be elected in a GOP primary since Evangelicals firmly reject New Age religion as demonic.   But ya never know... politics makes strange bedfellows.    Like Donald Trump today, Reagan did not adopt an anti-abortion stance until running for president on the GOP ticket to appease the Religious Right.   Prior to that he was all over the place,  like Trump.  That's just one example of 'useful' religious/moral words.  I was scratching my head both then and now.

I put more stock in someone's actions (walking the walk)  than words (talking the talk).   Reagan and Trump talked about Christian religion,  but I don't see that it formed their lives and values.
