Did the Polish people actually say "we want God"?

Asked by JLeslie (65714points) July 6th, 2017 from iPhone

Donald Trump gave a speech in Poland today, and when he spoke about Poland overcoming communism he said the people of Poland said “we want God.” My gut reaction is—shit, I’m so tired of the American Christian community promoting the idea that democracy is associated with God. I understand communist leaders usually strip the society of God and religion, but I’m tired of people thinking atheists are communists. Communists might be atheists, but atheists are not communists.

Then I thought to myself, I wonder if the Polish actually did chant or carry signs that said, “we want God,” or did Trump just make that up?

I understand the Catholic Church had a role in freeing Poland from communist rule, so I’m not saying that should not be acknowledged.
