A hungover, unshaven Borat wakes up to find he is outside a church. This is not a church similar to 'The Vicar of Dibley' that UK Borat fans may have some experience with. Speeches in it includes a passionate one about the USA being a Christian nation in the beginning, now and always - the camera flashes to blonde children in the congregation, and there's a certain undertone of 1930's Germany about things.
Anyway, Borat doesn't mind, he enjoys the service and is revitalised and has forgiven Pamela and is ready to go looking for her again.
"Do Jesus like me?"
(Borat somehow has managed to get the microphone at the front of the church)

"Do Jesus love my neighbour Gerault Nehonatby?"
"Jesus loves your neighbour"
"No one loves my neighbour Gerault Nehonatby?"
