As has been commented, Carter may have not been the most remarkable US president, but his humanitarian legacy as a former president is undeniable.

RIP 39

Carter's emphasis on religion was no inspiration for me, but I liked his decency, kindness, and honesty. He is the antithesis of Trump as a man and a politician.

What "emphasis on religion'? I never saw him as a bible thumper. He came across as a Christian, devoted to the humanity and equanimity that his faith, that all faiths, claim to nurture.
