A Hindu President? // TRUCK TALK THURSDAY

Vivek Ramaswamy is a presidential candidate worth listening to. He has the right ideas for America and is pushing for a dismantling of many agencies, including the FBI and CIA, and believes that America needs a common identity.

I agree. We do.

But, he is Hindu. While he has been open about being raised Hindu and still considers himself and his family Hindus, he was also raised with a good deal of knowledge and influence from Christianity.

The questions I pose in this episode are these:

• If an American President is 99% of what you want -- Conservative, Independent, beholden to the people, etc. -- does it matter if he is a Christian or not?
• What are the implications for a non-Christian President?
• Does the American identity need to be explicitly Christian or can it be more of a set of ideals and principles apart from a specific religion?

I give my answers at the end of the podcast, but these are great questions and ones we need to answer. Vivek isn't the first and he certainly won't be the last.
