The 37-year-old biotech entrepreneur turned Republican presidential candidate has been steadily garnering support in a party dominated by conservative Christians. In many polls, he’s in third place behind former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and he is one of six candidates who have qualified for the first GOP presidential debate on Aug. 23.

    This article doesn’t really lay out how it’s ‘front and center’ - he’s mentioned he’s a man of faith and that most of our values in the west are due to our Christian history, which is true.

    I’ve watched many interviews with him, I’m pretty interested in his campaign, but never has his Hindu faith been a big talking point.

    “I was raised in a belief system where there is one true God who empowers each of us with our own capacities,” he said. “As we say in the Hindu tradition, God resides in each one of us. In the Christian tradition, you say we’re all made in the image of God.”

    He’s being asked about his faith in interviews and says they aren’t too different from Christian values.

    This story just seems like nothing.
