What is the religious background of the Democrat candidates for president?

The major candidates are Hindu, Presbyterian, Catholic, Quaker, Jewish, Baptist, Anglican, Episcopal, Methodist, Church of Christ and “Protestant.”

Of the top 20 Democrats, seven are Catholic, two are Hindu and three have religious backgrounds but are not affiliated currently with any specific religion or church.

Even though faith plays a major role in the lives of many American voters, most Democrat candidates don’t speak much about their religion.

However, some don’t hesitate to use foul or blasphemous language in their comments about opponents, President Donald Trump in particular.

Here is information about those candidates.

Catholic

Montana Gov. Steve Bullock is Catholic. He is pro-abortion and got a 100 percent rating from NARAL and was endorsed by Planned Parenthood Advocates of Montana. He supports legalized homosexual marriage.

Former U.S. Rep. John Delaney, D-Maryland, says he is of the Catholic faith and is on the board of directors of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School. He supports homosexual marriage.

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke is a Roman Catholic. He voted against “No taxpayer funding for abortion” and the Abortion Full Disclosure Act of 2017. O’Rourke supports homosexual marriage as “a core civil rights issue.” He supports professional football players who have “taken a knee” during the playing of the National Anthem.

And answering a question about President Trump, O’Rourke took the name of Jesus Christ in vain in his answer.

“”Well, (deleted), of course he’s racist! He’s been racist from Day 1,” O’Rourke said of Trump.

Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, is a Roman Catholic.

After the shooting in Dayton, Ohio, Ryan tweeted “(Expletive deleted) me” after Trump mistakenly, at one point in his speech, said the Ohio shooting took place in Toledo.

Former Vice President Joe Biden, D-Delaware, is Catholic.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-New York, is Catholic. She supports Planned Parenthood, abortion on demand and has said killing a late-term unborn baby should not be called “infanticide.”

Castro has called Trump a “racist.”

Hindu

U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-California, claims to be a Baptist who was raised in the Baptist and Hindu traditions. She also has called Trump a racist.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, had a father who was Catholic and a mother who was a Hindu. She is a Hindu. The name “Tulsi” means “holy basil” – a sacred plant in Hinduism.

Episcopal

Mayor Pete Buttigieg, D-South Bend, Indiana, was baptized as an infant in the Catholic Church but in college he switched to being “Anglican.” He is a member of the Episcopal Church in South Bend, Indiana. On June 16, 2018, he married another man, Chasten Giezman, in Cathedral of St. James. Giezman has changed his name to Chasten Buttigieg.

Buttigieg has said that anyone who does not advocate for open borders is not a good Christian.
