It's interesting reading people falsely claim the US is a "Christian nation" and should have laws that reflect the Christian God's commandments... but then quickly say "we didn't elect Donald Trump to be a religious leader".
Either you falsely believe we are a Christian nation that ought to have laws that reflect the values/morals of the Christian faith AND a leader ought to reflect the values/morals of that faith as well.... OR we acknowledge that this ISN'T a Christian nation but a nation that does have some overlapping laws with the values/morals of the Christian faith, whereby we vote for a president irrespective of his/her individual religious beliefs/morals/values.

You think freedom from something isn't a thing? You've NEVER heard of freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, from having to quarter soldiers during times of war, from excessive bail and from the infliction of cruel and unusual punishment??
Then I guess we should discuss a different topic if you refuse to believe/acknowledge not just "freedom to" but "freedom from". I would just recommend reading up on the Bill of Rights.

Interesting how the founding fathers (who were mostly deists) decided to put as the FIRST amendment the inability of the government to "establish" or "prohibit" religion. We have freedom of religion as well as freedom from religion by the state.
The bill of rights has several amendments where they grant us certain rights/freedoms in addition to freedoms FROM. I've already posted just a few of them prior to this post. I didn't write the Bill of Rights, I'm merely letting you know what they say and how they grant us "freedoms of" and "freedoms from", religion being the initial one.
If you disagree that "freedom from religion" is a thing, then you refuse to believe the 1st amendment and the restriction government has in establishing a religion. If that isn't "freedom from", I don't know what is...

Read the Mayflower Compact.
Same thing, except not performed by an ordained official of the RCC. The difference is minuscule. Its true purpose is to gather as many gullible people into the RCC flock as possible.
Remember: Salvation in the RCC has nothing to do with surrender to or acceptance of Jesus Christ into one's heart. It has everything to do with membership. Excommunication, for instance, is considered a sentence to hell-fire not because someone has rejected Christ but because for one reason or another the relationship with the RCC has been terminated. None of this is Biblical of course, but nobody seems to care. The Pope is God and submission to him is salvation according to RCC unBiblical doctrine.(*)
Because the post-protestant church has accepted much of RCC theology, the idea of membership is nearly as extreme among those churches as well. Failure to attend church regularly, for instance, is determined to be evidence of a backslidden mind and puts the person in question at risk of hell-fire. This is basically the same as Roman doctrine, but without the stigma of excommunication.
Same sex anything is forbidden according to old testament & new testament writings.
"Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men" - 1 Cor. 6:9
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. - Leviticus 18:20
Nothing has changed except RCC attempts to ensnare sinners in its web of deceit.
that's me, hollering from the choir loft...

"The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in heaven and earth."
Barclay Cap. XXVII, p. 218. Cities Petrus Bertrandus, Pius V.
