So there is legitimate link, not that this will be acknowledged by the "Hillary-can-do-no right" brigade.
Moreover, why did you leave out the fact that your source declared that her claim was False? That was pretty dishonest of you wouldn't you say?
Further, after getting nailed for this fake story even Hillary finally owned up to that it wasn't true.

I think Hillary did herself a disservice in the primaries by not emphasizing her own religiosity over and against Trump's lack of it. One commentator suggested she should have challenged Trump to a bible memory verse competition to see who knew the bible better, as Hillary's biblical knowledge is apparently excellent, and doing so would perhaps have put questions into a lot of evangelical voters' minds as to whether they should really be voting for a debauched atheist like Trump or a Christian like Hillary.
As for Trump, I don't know of anyone who based any part of their vote for him on his claimed "conversion" during the campaign. And any who did would have been smart enough to recognize him as a new convert, and not expected any Biblical knowledge from him.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.

Which beggars the question: Why did Obama and the Clintons repeat the Creed if they also don't believe in it? I find it worse for someone who doesn't believe to say the words than for someone who doesn't believe to not say the words.
I also think it's a really stupid thing for the media and anybody else to pick up on. Haters going to hate, I suppose, and have to nitpick the smallest things.

If he HAD read along, there would have been at least a few loud crazies outraged at a sitting POTUS committing such an overt violation of the First Amendment.
I live in a very churchy little town in western PA. Many of my Friends are Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, or Presby. Probably most are Pentecostal and Evangelical, but even most of them are *former* Catholic or other. So at least one lady was shocked to hear me say I don't recall ever saying the Apostles' Creed out loud, certainly not in church. I was raised a "wedding and funeral" Lutheran, so not much church-going in my youth. When I got saved at college, I attended C&MA fellowships and churches; they are not Creed-y. (BTW, the aforementioned shocked lady is very Trumpy, and was not at all bothered by his not reading the Creed aloud.)Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.
