Is Congress Christian? A recent Pew Research Center study explores the religious composition of the 118th Congress — and the findings are pretty stunning.
Christian Post reporter Ian M. Giatti joins the show to explain why the House and Senate are way more Christian "on paper" than the general public, and why it matters.
"It's kind of an interesting find," he said, noting he simply doesn't see this Christian designation playing out in the ways in which lawmaking is typically handled.
"I don't see that reflected in the legislation," Giatti said, adding he believes these religious designations could have much more to do with "how lawmakers view the identification of 'Christian' as a way to further their own self-interest."
