This is the Holy Weekand President Donald Trump not only leads the country, but also believes he is elected to do so.
With a new spiritual passion and a talent for paradise, Trump has been Weaving his personal beliefs into the structure of his presidency, especially after attempts to be assassinated last year.
“I believe that my life was saved at Butler that day, for good reason,” he announced during a joint meeting of Congress last month. “I was saved by God and made America great again. I believe.”
This is the core view of Trump’s second term. During the National Prayer Breakfast in February, Trump reflected more personally: “I feel like it changes my stuff. I feel stronger. I believe in God, but I feel stronger about it.”

According to Trump, it was not just a lucky turn—it was a divine intervention. As he said, he looked at the chart at the right moment.
He said, “God did it. I mean, it must be.”

“He told me that the chance to disappear from that distance was like missing a foot putt. Someone had to save you, and I think I know who that was,” Don novel, “he looked up.”
Trump often attributes his Presbyterian growth to instilling his early moral consciousness, as he said, his destiny. At the National Faith Summit in 2024, he recalls attending Sunday school, watching Billy Graham’s crusades and being raised by a devout Scottish mother and a “very powerful” but “kind” father.

“I’m lucky to have grown up in a church home … and this faith lives in my heart every day,” Trump added.
He believes that this foundation is crucial not only to him personally, but to the soul of the country.
Over the past two years, Trump has repeatedly alerted the United States to its spiritual decline.
In August 2024, sit down with the host of Fox News Laura Ingrahamhe said bluntly: “One of the reasons why our country is lost, something–a lot is lost–we have no religion to the same degree without religious belief.”
Trump has often restored his role in the administration during the pandemic.
“People don’t even allow meeting outside… They’ll arrest everyone. They’re fascists. They’re terrible,” he said. “It’s a really bad time for organized religion – but religion, it gives you some hope. Oh my god, if I’m fine, I’ll go to heaven.”
He warned that at the 2023 Faith and Freedom Alliance event: “Religion is declining in terms of importance and popularity. It is not a welcome issue. We love God, we want to protect ourselves. It keeps you sane. It keeps you sane. It keeps you honest. It keeps you good. It keeps you good. It keeps you friendly. It keeps you friendly. It keeps you friendly. It keeps you away from you. They try to stay away from you.”

From the White House podium to the crowded gatherings of mega-churchs, Trump has used his presidency to advocate religious freedom as a cornerstone of his leadership.
“As long as I am president, no one will stop you from practicing your faith or preaching your heart,” he said in his first semester in 2017.
“Faith inspires us to be better, stronger, more caring and dedicating…it’s time to stop attacking religion,” he said.
Trump has also made international religious freedom part of his agenda. Trump focused on persecuted Christians in a 2017 interview with Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) host David Brody.
“They were treated horriblely…if you were one Christianity in Syria Entering the United States is impossible, at least difficult…we will help them. ” he said.
Trump continues to directly link American founding ideals to faith.
“Our Declaration of Independence declares that our rights have been given to us,” he said at the 2019 National Day dinner. “Every time we promise allegiance to our flag, we say we are one country in one country.”

In the 2017 National Prayer Breakfast, he added: “Liberty is not a gift from the government, it is a gift from God. As long as we continue to have faith in each other and believe in God, the United States will flourish.”
Whether he is narrating Sunday school memories or missing the bullet “counting where” it is, Trump’s news in 2025 is clear – he believes he is not only leading a country, he has also completed a sacred mission.

He told CNN in 2016 host Jake Tapper that “I have a very long relationship with God” and has a very good relationship with evangelical Christian voters. “My life is very different from what many people might think…I’m trying to live a good life and my life is very different.”
Now, nearly a decade later, it’s a message, it’s just loud, more personal, and in his opinion – more common.
“It may have hit it [my hair]”He talks about possible assassin bullets.” But not there. ”
In Trump’s own words: “I believe in God…but what’s going on now.”
