119th Congress adds 2 Hindus, 2 nones, remains mostly Christian

A new Pew Research Center report on the religious composition of the 119th session of Congress reveals that the majority of its members are Christian.

The Faith on the Hill report draws on data gathered by CQ Roll Call, a publication that compiles congressional data and provides legislative tracking. For every new session, the website sends questionnaires to new members and follows up with reelected members on their religious affiliation.

“Christians will make up 87% of voting members in the Senate and House of Representatives, combined, in the 2025-27 congressional session,” reads the report.
