Talk:Donald Trump and religion

Title

Hi Nikkimaria, thanks for creating this page. Judging from the content you have added to the article, perhaps more accurate titles would reflect either a) his relationship with Christianity specifically rather than all religions, or b) his personal religious beliefs. For the former, Donald Trump and Christianity may be more appropriate. I imagine this would contain a lot of content on his relationship with Christian nationalism and the Evangelical voterbase. For the latter, titles such as Religiosity of Donald Trump or Religious beliefs of Donald Trump may be more appropriate. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 01:55, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Previous discussions at Talk:Donald Trump have suggested there may be content related to Judaism that editors may consider adding here, so between that and the other presidential precedents I don't think a Christianity-specific titling would be appropriate. I have no objection to any of the (b) options per se, but would suggest that the current titling would encompass both the expanded content you suggest might be possible for (a) as well as the (b) material. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:59, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. I'm unsure how a relationship with Islam will be able to be balanced, since from what I've seen in RS his relationship to Christianity is discussed in very different terms and different sources than those discussing his relationship with Islam. And if the section in the Trump article is intended to summarize this article, it may lead to issues if the Travel ban etc is discussed at length.

I'm sure he mean well for everyone both Christians and Muslims only for us to know our boundaries, he is a passionate father and a leader he knows what's best for us Ihemeje (talk) 18:45, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If I text this article to myself, I receive the link plus THREE copies of the photo

If I text this article to myself (by using the SHARE icon and selecting TEXTING, I receive the link to the article plus THREE copies of the photo (the photo of Trump standing in front of that church while holding a Bible). Why? It should show only ONE copy of that photo. 06:36, 23 January 2025 (UTC) Mksword (talk) 06:36, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Faith as a political tool section

It only has… one source. 2600:1015:B0C8:7832:34F7:C83B:6CC5:961B (talk) 03:29, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

pundit Mark Levin's Easter statement

I removed this paraphrasing, as the pundit's statement about how he feels about djts policies as regards Isreal and the Jewish diaspora doesn't really rise to the level of notability, being more of an ironic statement from a noted curmudgion.

Trump replied "it's true" and "that's true" to the statements implicating him as the first Jewish president and the first Jewish president to serve nonconsecutive terms.
I think it at least deserves a one-line "Trump once identified as Jewish" or slightly more descriptive sentence. Given that all of his other religious identifications have been questioned, I don't see the harm in adding one more questionable self-identifying statement.
That said, the edit you twice removed doesn't properly encapsulate that and should be re-phrased. ~2025-41728-09 (talk) 03:41, 19 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Donald Trump and religionReligious views of Donald TrumpReligious views of Donald Trump – The current title is not in compliance with WP:AND, part of the titles policy. Further, it does not WP:PRECISEly capture the page topic. As per the first line of the lead, this page is about the religious views of Trump. We can bold that in the first sentence if we rename to this, and in addition to being precise it will be equally WP:CONCISE (four words). Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 15:51, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, Trump's personal views only make up one section of the article, which also deals with his relationship with and use of religion. Thanks, Glasspalace (talk • contribs) 18:20, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I disagree that it's a clear violation of WP:AND, which addresses "two or more closely related or complementary concepts." Trump and religion are neither closely related nor complementary; they are orthogonal. (And lest someone say that that makes it analogous to the "Islam and terrorism" example there, no, Islam has an adjective form, Islamic, whereas Donald Trump (the person) does not have an adjective form, nor is this article addressing a particular kind of religion in the way that Islamic terrorism addresses a particular kind of terrorism.) I agree with Glasspalace. FactOrOpinion (talk) 18:30, 31 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You have misunderstood WP:AND. In saying Trump and religion are neither closely related nor complementary that is exactly why it is a breach of the titles policy to conjoin the terms in the title. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:44, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with Religious views of Donald Trump because I don't think it is accurate to the scope of the article in its current form, but I'm not really sure how we can improve from here. Donald Trump's relationship with religion? The way I see it, anything more precise is bound to be either awkward or reductive. I don't feel anything is particularly wrong with the current title in regards to readability, and I disagree that it does not WP:PRECISEly capture the page topic. I think this is just going to have to be an IAR situation due to a lack of a suitable alternative. Thanks, Glasspalace (talk • contribs) 10:06, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree that I've misunderstood. WP:AND says "Sometimes two or more closely related or complementary concepts are most sensibly covered by a single article. Where possible, use a title covering all cases: for example, Endianness covers the concepts 'big-endian' and 'little-endian'." In that example, big-endian and little-endian are closely related; thus it's possible to find a single term that encompasses both. In this case, you haven't proposed a title that encompasses both, because the article isn't limited to discussing Trump's religious views. Donald Trump's relationship with religion would be OK with me. FactOrOpinion (talk) 15:25, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
You've misunderstood because that first paragraph is talking about how we deal with subjects where the two are closely related. Endianness is a concept in Computer Science related to bit representation in bytes. Little endian numbers are just the opposite ordering of big endian numbers, and so closely related that if the two must be dealt with as a single page. This case doesn't apply here (as you say). It is not an article about Donald Trump and, as an alternative, Religion. They are not closely related terms. Paragraph one does not apply. The relevant paragraph of WP:AND is paragraph 3. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:22, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
"that first paragraph is talking about how we deal with subjects where the two are closely related." I know!! I haven't in any way misunderstood that. As for paragraph 3, please quote the part that you think the current title is inconsistent with. I explained above why it's not analogous to the "Islam and terrorism" example in paragraph 3. FactOrOpinion (talk) 17:51, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a little confused by your Trump and religion are neither closely related nor complementary then. As for the third paragraph, the usage appears to encourage WP:OR by not staying on one topic (his religious views, which would be PRECISE and a single subject). And, of course, the article cannot be about Christian support of Donald Trump, since that would be a WP:POVFORK (or at least a WP:CFORK). Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 18:06, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I asked you for a quote, which you haven't provided. I don't know what "the usage" refers to; the referent is unclear, please clarify. Trump's relationship with religion is a single topic. It's routine for a WP article with a single topic to address several subsets of that one topic. FactOrOpinion (talk) 18:32, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure if I understand the argument here - I don't think the policy states that any concepts/phrases/topics that are neither closely related nor complementary cannot be used in a title joined by the conjunction and. It states that Titles containing "and" are often red flags that the article has neutrality problems or is engaging in original research: avoid the use of "and" in ways that appear biased. These are strong suggestions to avoid usage in particular contexts, not broad prohibitions. Katzrockso (talk) 02:57, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per the reasoning already given by others that the article is not limited to Trump's personal views. Maxeto0910 (talk) 15:27, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
