| Hillary Clinton's Methodist Roots |
August 11, 2016 |
|
Although she doesn't mention it much on the campaign trail, Hillary Clinton is a lifelong Methodist who has quietly turned to religion during her most trying times in the public eye. Growing up in suburban Chicago, she was inspired by a pastor who brought her youth group to hear Martin Luther King, Jr. speak. Later, in college, she subscribed to the Methodist magazine Motive. In fact, our guest suggests her religious convictions may explain her "conversion" from Republican to Democrat around that time.

Fifty percent of Americans say they would be skeptical of an atheist president. Perhaps this is why every American president has professed some kind of religious faith– at least in public. We look back on some of the spiritual struggles of our 44 presidents, from Abraham Lincoln's conflict over slavery, to Harry Truman's justification for using the atomic bomb. And we hear why voters want their president to be part Jesus Christ, part John Wayne.
