Trump spotlighted the value of religious belief for Americans, at one point declaring that "we know that faith and family, not government bureaucracy, are at the center of American life."

"In America, we don't worship government, we worship God," the president said. "Everywhere you go, all over the country, in cities small and large, Americans of all faiths reach out to our Creator for strength, for inspiration, and for healing."

"In times of grief and hardship, we turn to prayer for solace and for comfort."
