Vance Talks of Christian Values at TPUSA Event: ‘I Make No Apologies’

Make no doubt about it — Vice President JD Vance is a Christian and is not afraid to say it.

Vance spoke of many topics, including religion, Wednesday at a 🏛️Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), Fox Newsreported.

At the event, held in honor of conservative activist 👤Charlie Kirk, Vance said “a properly rooted Christian moral order” is important for the future of the U.S.

“I make no apologies for thinking that Christian values are an important foundation of this country,” Vance said after he was asked about the separation of church and state. “Anybody who’s telling you their view is neutral likely has an agenda to sell you. And I’m at least honest about the fact that I think the Christian foundation of this country is a good thing.”

Vance spoke after Kirk’s widow, Erika, and took questions from the audience, some of which surrounded Vance’s faith, including raising his children in a dual-religion home as his wife, Usha, is Hindu.

Vance said that when the couple met, he was not a Christian. When they started a family, they decided to raise their children Christian.

“Most Sundays she will come with me to church. As I’ve told her, and I’ve said publicly, and I’ll say now in front of 10,000 of my closest friends, ‘Do I hope eventually that she is somehow moved by the same thing that I was moved in by church? Yeah, I honestly, I do wish that.’ Because I believe in the Christian gospel and I hope eventually my wife comes to see it the same way. But if she doesn’t, then God says everybody has free will, and so that doesn’t cause a problem for me.”
