A new national poll finds an overwhelming majority of Americans believe President Donald Trump has little to no personal religious beliefs, but many still believe he defends the religious freedoms of most Americans.
“Seven-in-ten Americans say President Donald Trump is not too or not at all religious, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. That’s up 8 percentage points since we last asked this question in fall 2024,” the Pew Research Center announced in a statement releasing the findings of its new poll.
“At the same time, many Republicans and White evangelical Protestants say Trump stands up for people with religious beliefs like theirs,” Pew notes, noting that “even among Trump’s strongest supporters, relatively few people say they think he is very religious. Just 8% of Republicans and 5% of White evangelicals say this is the case.”
Pew reports:
Overall, 70% of U.S. adults now say Trump is not too or not at all religious, while 24% say he is somewhat religious and 5% say he is very religious. The survey was conducted April 6-12, 2026, just before Trump criticized Pope Leo XIV and posted an image on social media depicting himself as a Jesus-like figure. Trump later deleted the image and said he intended to show himself as a doctor.
Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents are much more likely than Republicans and Republican leaners to say Trump is not too or not at all religious (89% vs. 49%).
Conversely, Republicans are much more likely than Democrats to say he is somewhat religious (42% vs. 8%). White evangelical Protestants – a mostly Republican-leaning group – are also more inclined than people in other religious groups to view Trump as at least somewhat religious.

My thoughts on this subject are that Trump is, as far as he understands Christianity, doing what he believes is the Christian thing to do.
Yes, he certainly needs a greater understanding ( as most people do ) of true Christian principles … but don’t we all.
But I believe that he is doing the best that he can with what he knows.
There is no doubt that he needs to understand what the Bible states about the use of profanity ( as the majority of people also do )!
It appears that most people from large cities, and some smaller cities too, seem to believe that cussing is just a way of communicating.
There are those live ‘here in the woods’ who haven’t ‘gotten the message’ either!
That’s not what the Bible teaches us!
God teaches that we should keep a decent tongue!
