Quick Scoop: What religion is Trump?

  • Trump was baptized and confirmed in the Presbyterian Church, a Protestant Christian denomination.
  • For most of his public life, he described himself as a “Presbyterian” and “Protestant.”
  • In an October 2020 written interview with Religion News Service, he said he no longer identifies as Presbyterian and instead sees himself as a “nondenominational Christian.”

A bit of context

Over the years, Trump has frequently highlighted his Christian identity while courting evangelical and other religious voters, even as commentators debate how personally devout or consistent his religious practice appears. Public discussions today often frame his religion as part of a broader story about the overlap of faith, culture wars, and politics in the U.S., especially during and after his presidencies.
