Church in Manhattan which Trump claimed he attends, told CNN that Trump is "not an active member"

........."

Earlier this week, when Trump was asked by reporters about his religious practices, he said, "I've just had great experiences at church, whether it is Sunday School or whatever it may be, but now I go to Marble Collegiate Church."

He also said he was "Presbyterian Protestant." The denomination of Marble Collegiate Church is a Reformed Church in America, according to CNN.

"Donald Trump has had a longstanding history with Marble Collegiate Church, where his parents were for years active members and one of his children was baptized. However, as he indicates, he is a Presbyterian, and is not an active member of Marble," the church's statement to CNN said.

Trump didn't leave Marble Collegiate Church: Marble Collegiate Church left Trump.
