From the article: Of course, the impulse of politicians of all stripes—including liberal, Democratic standard-bearers—to quote the Bible or otherwise prove they are authentically religious isn’t new. Throughout the 2016 campaign, including at the Democratic National Convention and in her nomination acceptance speech, Hillary Clinton frequently invoked the Methodist quote: “Do all the good you can, for all the people you can, in all the ways you can, as long as ever you can.” It’s hard to argue with the sentiment, but it did inject Clinton’s personal religion into the political sphere.

More recently, Clinton traded Bible quotes with Attorney General Jeff Sessions. After Sessions quoted the apostle Paul in support of the Trump administration’s policy of separating children from their parents at the border, Clinton didn’t explain to him that the First Amendment precludes the administration from basing government policies on Bible passages. Instead, she simply pointed him to another passage, suggesting that he look to Matthew instead of Paul: “Jesus said suffer the little children unto me. He did not say let the children suffer.”
