Apparently religion is on the decline in the United States However, it’s still very difficult for a political candidate today to get elected if they are not religious. In fact, candidates often hype up how religious they are by making sure media outlets know when they are going to church. See! Look at me! I’m going to church! I’m a good boy! The current U.S. President, Joe Biden, identifies as a Roman Catholic, making him only the second American President in history to be Catholic. Around 22% of Americans identify as Catholic I know a lot about Roman Catholicism. I went to Catholic grade school and was raised Catholic. Most of my family is hardcore Catholic. But did you know, there was once a time when running for President as a Catholic was considered a liability? It’s true. When Al Smith ran for President in 1928, he faced widespread anti-Catholic sentiment against him, which is at least partially why he lost that election. Even when John F. Kennedy ran for President in 1960, there was still a lot of anti-Catholic sentiment in the country, to a point where Kennedy even gave a speech adressing his religious views. Article 6, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution says you can’t be forced to take a religious test in order to hold a government position, but obviously, voters can be biased against or for candidates based on their religion. In this video, I’m going to briefly look at the religion of every President in American history, and some of them might just surprise you. #americanpresidents #ushistory #politicalhistory
