Religious affiliation in the United States House of Representatives

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article covers the religious affiliation in the United States House of Representatives.

While the religious preference of elected officials is by no means an indication of their allegiance nor necessarily reflective of their voting record, the religious affiliation of prominent members of all three branches of government is a source of commentary and discussion among the media and public. The topic is also of interest to religious groups and the general public who may appeal to representatives of their denomination on religious or moral issues facing the House of Representatives.[citation needed]
