Congress Doesn't Reflect America's Religious Profile
Briefly

Christian Nationalism is deeply embedded in the MAGA movement, exemplified by leaders like House Speaker Mike Johnson, who align America with conservative Christian beliefs to assert a divine mission.
Despite Donald Trump's narrow election victory and slim majority in Congress, 87% of Congress members are Christian, a significant disconnect with the broader American population where only 62% identify as such.
The gap between Congress and the American public is striking, with nearly 30% of Americans now religiously unaffiliated, contrasting sharply with Congress that still reflects the Christian demographic dominance of the 1960s.
Americans’ religious affiliations have dramatically shifted over decades, revealing a decline in adherence to Christian identities compared to Congress's overwhelmingly Christian makeup.
