Trump Calls for Religious Revival in America: ‘Without Religion, There’s No Real Guardrails’
Former President Donald Trump Opens Up on Faith, Mortality, and America’s Spiritual Decline in Interview with Lex Fridman
In a candid and thought-provoking interview with podcaster Lex Fridman, former President Donald Trump delved into the subjects of mortality, faith, and the urgent need for a religious revival in America. The discussion, which touched on life’s greatest certainty—death—saw Trump reflect on the role religion plays in giving people peace and hope for the future.
“When you’re religious, I think you have a better feeling about it. You’re supposed to go to Heaven ideally, not Hell, but you’re supposed to go to Heaven if you’re good,” Trump remarked, sharing his belief in the power of faith to provide comfort in the face of life’s end.
Yet, Trump’s insights weren’t limited to personal reflections. He voiced deep concern over the diminishing influence of religion in modern American society, arguing that the country has lost a moral compass once guided by faith. “Our country is missing a lot of religion,” Trump asserted, pointing to a time when religious values served as a foundation for a kinder and more virtuous society. “Without religion, there’s no real guardrails,” he continued, emphasizing the need for a return to religious principles to instill morality and goodness in people.
The former president, who has often publicly claimed his Christian faith, stressed the importance of preserving religious liberty in the U.S., warning that a loss of faith could lead to the erosion of societal values. “I’d love to see us get back to religion, more religion in this country,” he added, calling for a spiritual resurgence that could restore what he believes is the heart of America’s strength.
As Trump pushes for a renewed focus on faith, his comments come at a time when many in the nation are grappling with questions about the role of religion in public life. His message is clear: without faith, America risks losing the very moral framework that has long guided its path.
