Religious affiliations of presidents of the United States

The majority of American presidents have belonged to Protestant faiths. St. John's Church, an Episcopal church in Washington, D.C., has been visited by every sitting president since James Madison.[1]

Religious affiliations can affect the electability of the presidents of the United States and shape their stances on policy matters and their visions of society and also how they want to lead it. While no president has ever openly identified as an atheist, Thomas Jefferson,[2] Abraham Lincoln,[3][4] and William Howard Taft[5] were speculated to be atheists by their opponents during political campaigns; in addition, a survey during the presidency of Donald Trump showed that 63% of Americans did not believe he was religious, despite his professed Christian affiliation.[6] Trump supporters have also circulated conspiracy theories that Barack Obama is a Muslim. Conversely, other presidents, such as Jimmy Carter, have used their faith as a defining aspect of their campaigns and tenure in office.[7]

Almost all of the presidents can be characterized as Christians, at least by upbringing, though some were unaffiliated with any specific religious body. Mainline Protestants predominate, with Episcopalians and Presbyterians being the most prevalent. John F. Kennedy was the first Catholic president and Joe Biden, the incumbent president, is the second. There have been at least four nontrinitarian presidents.
