The religious makeup of the incoming 118th Congress looks more like what America used to be than what it is today. Congress is more Christian and religious overall than the general population, with nearly 88% of Congress identifying as Christian.
Pew listed 20 other members of Congress as having unknown religious affiliations, either because they declined to answer CQ Roll Call’s query or because the answers are otherwise muddled .Only 60% of Americans told a Gallup survey in 2019 that they’d be willing to vote for an atheist — fewer than would vote for gays or lesbians or various religious or ethnic groups.“If anything, there’s a political upside,” he said. “People appreciate the fact that I’m just being honest.
Democrats have more religious diversity, at about 76% Christian and 12% Jewish. They have about 1% each of Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim and Unitarian Universalist representation. Party leaders “speak to the politics of secular people but don’t want to take on the identity,” he said. “When Trump held up that Bible in front of that church in D.C., he did more damage to the Christian brand than Hitchens and Dawkins and Harris combined,” Zuckerman said, referring to popular atheist authors.
