Look, my father\u2019s family was wiped out by Hitler in the Holocaust. I know about what crazy and radical and extremist politics mean. I learned that lesson as a tiny, tiny child when my mother would take me shopping and we would see people working in stores who had numbers on their arms because they were in Hitler\u2019s concentration camps. I am very proud of being Jewish, and that is an essential part of who I am as a human being.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>Hindu<\/h4>\n<blockquote><p><em>Tulsi Gabbard.<\/em>\u00a0 A Hawaiian of Samoan ethnicity, Gabbard was brought up in Vaishnava Hinduism, which teaches that the preserver god Vishnu and his incarnation Krishna is the Supreme God.\u00a0 Said, \u201cAfter my 2012 election, I made a personal decision to take my congressional oath of office on the supreme yoga\/Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita, where Krishna\u2019s teachings have provided wisdom and spiritual solace to me throughout my life, including when I was serving our country in the Middle East during the Iraq war.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Some sound pretty nominal, speaking of their religious identity as \u201chow I was raised.\u201d\u00a0 But others seem quite involved with their congregations and committed to their faith.\u00a0 This tends to be of the \u201csocial gospel\u201d variety.<\/p>\n<p>While evangelicals and other conservative Christians are roundly condemned for bringing their religion into politics and for allegedly wanting to impose their religious beliefs by means of the government, Mainline Liberal Protestants\u2013who are evidently more influential than observers have realized\u2013seem to have few qualms about doing that themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The Catholics here sound very pious in affirming Roman Catholic social teachings, except for the abortion part.\u00a0 On that issue they brazenly and hypocritically defy their church\u2019s teachings, even though the foundation of its \u201cconsistent life ethic\u201d that they seem eager to embrace rests as its first principle on the sanctity of life in the womb.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the favorite candidate of many anti-Trump evangelicals, Tulsi Gabbard, is not a Christian at all and doesn\u2019t pretend to be, holding instead to a polytheistic religion to which she is devoutly committed.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Illustrations:\u00a0 \u201cDemocratic Primary Debate Participants June 26, 2019,\u201d\u00a0 by DonkeyHotey via Flickr, <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/legalcode\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Creative Commons license<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The major Democratic presidential candidates may sound like secularists, but they all have specific church or religious affiliations:  five  belong to mainline liberal Protestant denominations;
