\n\tIn Notes on the State of Virginia \u2014 <\/em>Thomas Jefferson\u2019s half-almanac, half-philosophical exploration published in 1785 \u2014 the founding father and future president writes about mixing various religions and faith traditions into one unified nation, and how a man\u2019s god should and should not shape his politics.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others,\u201d he writes. \u201cBut it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBut nearly 250 years after Jefferson wrote the words that broke with the old empire, and planted the seeds of a new one, the question of what gods our political class serves is weighing heavily as Americans celebrate the anniversary of the republic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe arena of religious politics \u2014 of faith as the basis of governing ideology \u2014 has been a decidedly Republican-dominant battleground since the rise of the evangelical movement in electoral politics in the 1970s. A growing number of Democrats are realizing it doesn\u2019t have to be that way, especially as the United States contends with perhaps its most sacreligious, golden-calf presidency in history.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\u201cFolks on the right often behave as if they own religion, as if they are the chief interpreters of the meaning of Christian faith,\u201d Reverend Raphael Warnock, a Democratic senator from Georgia, tells Rolling Stone.<\/em> \u201cThe implications of that in this American moment, I think, are tragic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2021, Warnock, a senior pastor at Atlanta\u2019s historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, became the first Black senator from Georgia. He did so by leaning heavily into his role as a religious leader and steward of the faith community that had once been home to Martin Luther King Jr. Now, he\u2019s watching a whole new class of progressive Democrats turn to their faith as a way to reconnect with disillusioned voters \u2014 on everything from immigration to economic policy.<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom Georgia to Texas, Iowa to Alaska, Democratic candidates are attempting to use their religious views as \u201ca bridge,\u201d as Warnock puts it, to connect with voters. At least three candidates in the 2026 midterms cycle have some form of ecclesiastical training. In Texas, Senate candidate James Talarico is former teacher and Presbyterian seminarian leaning on Jesus\u2019s command that his followers \u201clove thy neighbor\u201d as a central pillar of his campaign. In Iowa, Lutheran minister Sarah Trone Garriott is running for a seat representing the state\u2019s 3rd congressional district. In Alaska, Presbyterian pastor Matt Schultz is leveling a challenge against the state\u2019s only congressional representative, a Republican. Others have no formal background as preachers or seminarians, but have embraced their lifelong faith as part of their political identity. Rolling Stone <\/em>spoke to many of them about the relationship between their religion and their politics, and why they think voters are open to religious messaging from Democratic candidates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m the staunchest defender of separation [of church and state], but I feel like the secular part of the Democratic Party felt the best way to protect that separation was just to never talk about religion, and that was such a monumental mistake,\u201d Talarico says. \u201cWhen you cede faith, when you cede meaning to the other side, it\u2019s going to leave you impoverished in your ability to connect with people. I don\u2019t think it needs to be religion proper, it doesn\u2019t necessarily need to be\u00a0 a sectarian religion, but we do have to speak to something different.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWarnock argues there is an opportunity for Democrats given the extent to which the actions of the party in power are not lining up with their faith-based messaging. \u201cI think what turns people off from religious people, from faith leaders, is when there\u2019s a vast disconnect between what they say and what they do, when there\u2019s a divide between their creeds and their deeds,\u201d Warnock explains, adding that Democrats can use their faith not by offering up fire and brimstone, but by describing the \u201cpossibilities in this country for what it actually can be,\u201d and laying out \u201cGod\u2019s dream for humanity\u201d as \u201ca kaleidoscopic picture of many colors and hues and shapes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOne professed person of faith who has a decidedly different dream for humanity is Trump, and it\u2019s worth taking a step back to consider what the fraught American moment described by Warnock actually entails. Trump, who has used the office to enrich himself and his family in ways unimaginable to previous presidents, openly questions if he\u2019s going to heaven \u2014 even as he posts AI-generated photos comparing himself to Christ. Trump\u2019s version of a Christian life and politics includes divorces, allegations of infidelity and sexual assault, open theft from the public coffers, the arrest and de facto torture of migrants in fetid detention camps, the brutalization of American protesters, and the deaths of untold millions through his foreign policy blunders. Religious leaders who call out the administration are met with ire, including Pope Leo XIV \u2014 the first American Pope \u2014 whom Trump deemed \u201cWEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tYet, Trump continues to embrace the religious fervor around his presidency from the evangelical right. In a speech before the conservative Faith and Freedom Coalition\u2019s annual conference in late June, Trump claimed his movement had \u201csaved religion,\u201d asserting that the \u201cradicals\u201d on the left wanted to celebrate America\u2019s 250th anniversary by \u201cdriving God from our public square once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tAmericans are growing increasingly skeptical of his sincerity. The number of Americans who view Trump as \u201cnot at all religious\u201d has spiked since 2020. His favorability is sliding among Christians, particularly Christians of color. Recent polling has found that about half of evangelicals think the president\u2019s war and Iran and treatment of migrants do not align with Christian values. As the primary season ends and candidates begin hunkering down for the final electoral stretch, many congressional hopefuls are calling out the hypocrisy of the religious right.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think Democrats make a mistake when they cede the faith and values space to the right, especially since in more instances than not, it seems to me that [Republicans] have got the faith wrong,\u201d Warnock says. \u201cThis is a moral moment, and we need people of faith, not just Christians, but people of various faith traditions \u2014 and people who claim no faith tradition at all, but are people of moral courage \u2014 to stand up and assert the covenant that we have with one another as an American people.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI have a kind of freedom, because while I love doing this job, I\u2019m not in love with politics, I\u2019m in love with change,\u201d he adds. \u201cMy faith is not a weapon, it\u2019s a bridge. It\u2019s an invitation to be in conversation with me, and me with you, as we try to figure out what it means to be human and what it means to be an American in this moment, and what is it that we can build together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nCliff Johnson, a civil rights lawyer and Sunday school teacher running as a Democrat in Mississippi\u2019s deep-red 1st congressional district, agrees.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think all the time about how we can use the shared language of faith to talk about hard things,\u201d Johnson says. <\/em>In his view, Christ made following his teachings pretty simple: Love God and love your neighbor. Who\u2019s your neighbor? The answer is clearly everybody, and that causes me to tell my friends on the left, look, guys, we can\u2019t hate people, right? We can be mad at people, and then say, come join us. If you hate people, they know you hate them.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the caustic, isolationist politics currently dominating America, the notion of strength through community building feels \u201crevolutionary,\u201d Johnson says, and as a candidate, Sunday school teacher, and law professor, he tries to impress upon people that the only way to find common understanding is to \u201cdevelop the muscles to stay in the room with people with whom you disagree.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tCommunity as a potential balm to the divisiveness of modern political discourse is a theme echoed by many of the Democrats running on faith. <\/em>Sarah Trone Garriott worked as a chaplain in an emergency room in Philadelphia before moving to Iowa and taking up a position in the Des Moines Area Religious Council, a community aid network. \u201cI got to be a pastor to the whole community,\u201d she says. \u201cThere\u2019s just a lot of common ground that we have, even if people have different beliefs or different perspectives.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe candidates also agree on one critical point: their religion is not a campaign strategy, or a political weapon, but an innate part of who they are as people. \u201cMy faith is what motivates me to do hard things and show up for my community,\u201d Trone Garriott explains. \u201cWhen I speak out from a perspective of faith, about the issues, it\u2019s because that\u2019s what my faith teaches, that I\u2019m there to help people. We feed the hungry, we help the sick, we welcome the stranger, we care for those who need help.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTalarico agrees that one\u2019s politics should arise from their faith, not the other way around. \u201cYou\u2019ve heard me root everything in those first two commandments: love God and love your neighbor,\u201d he says. \u201cI do think that sequence is really important, that you can\u2019t fit the big stuff into small stuff. Partisanship, politics, policy are smaller than faith, so you want you want those things to grow out of the the big, big stuff, the deep stuff. We try to tap into that whenever we can, and not always in a sectarian way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe budding wave of religious progressives can all (at least loosely) be linked historically to the principles of the social gospel, an American protestant social movement of the 19th century that attempted to address social ills \u2014 things like poverty, disease, racial and social inequality, and pollution \u2014 through Christian principles. It was not particularly well unified (which is why you\u2019ve probably never heard of it), and its priorities and character varied from state to state and diverged widely on issues. But it did create an undercurrent of religious social and economic progressivism that endured into the modern age, and continues to transcend specific denominations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c[Among] different religious communities, non-religious people, there\u2019s just a lot of common ground that we have,\u201d Trone Garriot says of her own faith journey. \u201c[Most Americans] want people to succeed, they want kids to be fed, and folks have health care. For some folks, their motivation for that is not religious, but we can come together for the results.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tWarnock points to the desire for more morality and principled politics in an age where the most dominant political figure in the world \u2014 Donald Trump \u2014 seems to embrace self-serving corruption at the expense of Americans. The desire to reclaim one\u2019s faith from the MAGA movement, which has taken their idolatry of the president to blasphemous degrees and the gospels at the convenience of their politics, is a ripe space for both voters and candidates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cReligion shows up in many ways,\u201d Warnock says. \u201cIt does a lot of good in the world, and a lot of evil, quite frankly, in the name of religion, in the name of Christianity. There were plenty of Christians who were on the wrong side of the slavery question. They were on the wrong side of the Jim Crow segregation question.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIn other words, talk is cheap. \u201cI don\u2019t think that people are necessarily impressed or unimpressed by your creeds. I think what matters is your deeds,\u201d Warnock says. \u201cIf you can center the faith in a way that is focused on love, that\u2019s focused on justice, that\u2019s focused on community, that\u2019s focused on on trying to center people in the on the who are on the margins, then yeah, I think the country is ready to hear from those kinds of people.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tNone of this is to say that Democrats are anywhere close to dominating the arena of religious politics. Republicans are embracing new orthodoxies seemingly on a daily basis. Vice President J.D. Vance \u2014 a presumptive candidate for the 2028 presidential race \u2014 is currently on a book tour promoting his latest memoir on his conversion to Catholicism, the right-wing faith tradition du jour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tVance, and other recent Catholic converts, have found themselves in a bit of a pickle given that the still relatively new American pope, Leo XIV, has made abundantly clear that the Catholic Church and its teachings do not endorse many of the policies endorsed by the Trump administration and its acolytes, particularly on issues of foreign policy and immigration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tTrump and his vice president have repeatedly sparred in public with the pontiff, with Vance at one point instructing the head of the Catholic church to be \u201ccareful\u201d when commenting on \u201cmatters of theology.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat it shows is that what he\u2019s committed to is his political agenda,\u201d and not his faith, Warnock says of the vice president. \u201cIf the church gets in the way, he\u2019ll run roughshod over that as well. It\u2019s really striking, and it is the clear embodiment of hubris and arrogance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tIn Alaska, Matt Schultz is the child of a Catholic priest and a Catholic nun who were excommunicated after falling in love. He himself is a Presbyterian minister. \u201cI\u2019ve always looked at religion as sort of a funny, quirky little thing, and I love my faith tradition, but I also recognize that we make mistakes,\u201d he says, pointing to his parents continuing to live a life of faith and love despite perhaps making \u201cmistakes.\u201d Both he and Warnock described the right\u2019s treatment of Christ\u2019s teaching as a blatant case of \u201cidentity theft.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThey\u2019ve taken the name Jesus and twisted it into a horrible tool of oppression,\u201d Schultz says.<\/em> \u201cPeople are smarter than this administration gives them credit for, and when you go out there and say we\u2019re Christians, but then you turn around and harm people so deeply, and take health care away from the sick, and take food away from hungry children, people smell bullshit. They say, no, you\u2019re contradicting the very faith tradition that you\u2019re claiming is on your side.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIt remains to be seen what amount of success these candidates will have in November. While Warnock is not on the ballot this year, his fellow Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff, also a Democrat, is currently facing reelection, and visiting pulpits across the state to preach a populist economic message. Both are rumored to be considering presidential runs in 2028.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tJames Talarico is facing a close race in Texas against state Attorney General Ken Paxton, whose wife is divorcing him on grounds of \u201cbiblical\u201d adultery. Trone Garriott\u2019s prospective district was narrowly won by Trump in 2024 and is currently held by a Republican. Schulz would also need to flip Alaska\u2019s at-large district. Johnson is throwing an electoral Hail Mary in his Mississippi district that is rated at +18 Republican by the Cook Partisan Voting Index.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAll of these candidates understand that trust in the Democratic Party is at a historic low. In the aftermath of a demoralizing loss in 2024 \u2014 and almost two years under the authoritarian governance of Trump \u2013faith in the ability of the party establishment to react to the excesses of the Trump administration and deliver for its voters is all but gone. \u201cPeople are seeing the rank corruption that\u2019s going on right now, and they\u2019re wondering, \u2018Is there anybody who\u2019s for real?\u2019 Is there anybody whose [beliefs] are based in something other than just being another transactional politician?\u201d Warnock says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tWhen the institutions that are supposed to protect and defend Americans and their communities surrender themselves to open corruption, greed, and criminality, it\u2019s perhaps natural to return to the moral compasses and social creeds of faith as a guiding sociopolitical force.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s a principle Warnock, and the many candidates walking along a similar path, are centering. \u201cIt\u2019s not my creeds that I take to that work, it\u2019s not the orthodoxy of my particular faith: it\u2019s really the values of my faith,\u201d Warnock says. \u201cIt\u2019s justice making, centering love and love of humanity, truth telling, empathy, compassion, and the ability to look in the eyes of your neighbor and see a glimpse of your own humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n
