Many Christians listening to Republican Presidential Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy like what he says and assume he is a Christian.
At a faith forum in Iowa, he was directly asked about his religious beliefs.
Ramaswamy was asked, “What is truth? Where do you find it? How do you discern it? And how do you apply it?”
He took a minute to think about the question and then answered:
“I’m Hindu. I believe there’s one true God. I believe God put each of us here for a purpose. My faith teaches me that we have a duty, a moral duty, to realize that purpose, that we’re God’s instruments. We’re still equal because God resides in all of us. That’s the core of my faith.” said Ramaswamy.
“I grew up in a traditional household. My parents taught me that family is the foundation… Respect your parents. Marriage is sacred. Abstinence before marriage. Adultery is wrong. Marriage is between a man and a woman… We’re here for a purpose and to pursue that purpose,”
Ramaswamy continued. “Is that a strange or foreign set of values—I don’t think so?”
Ramaswamy explained how he went to a Christian high school, read the bible, learned the 10 Commandments, and that there is One True God. “What I learned, at that time, was that these values were familiar to me because they don’t just belong to one religion; they belong to God,” Ramaswamy said.
His point is: believe in God, and you believe in those values.
He also explains that as President, he will not promote Christianity because he feels pastors and ministers should do that. However, he says he will promote and support traditional Judeo/Christian values because they are “shared values, and values that I deeply share.”
While Ramaswamy comes across as a Christian, he is not. He is Hindu and shares many of the Judeo/Christian values.

7 Comments on “Ramaswamy: He Says Christianity and His Hindu Faith Align [VIDEO Interview]”
Thank you for your continuing efforts to educate us about the candidates before we vote! I had suspected this about him & wondered if he believes in one God, and the Hindu religion has many, to which one is he aligned?
I agree and wonder if he is torn between being true to his family and embracing the Christian faith. Perhaps to deal with this internal debate he “adjusts” his Hindu faith to adhere to the Christian/Judeo beliefs to fit his purpose. It reminds me of some self proclaimed Christian churches that pick and choose which parts of the Holy Bible are going to be either embraced or rejected. Examples are include verses regarding homosexuality, marriage and divorce, and even the true deity of Jesus Of Nazareth as being the Christ/Messiah.
God can use and has used nonbelievers for His purpose.
I, for one, am still supporting Pres. Trump. He has proven through his works in the White House what he is about. Any who attack him on past personal or present personality flaws, well, yep, we all have them! (Along with every President , pretty much.) However, did we see anything deeply evil or opposing or undermining our country’s sovereignty or strength being pushed or promoted by Pres. Trump?
Ramaswamy is not to be trusted his religion and our are not the same. We have he quad in our congress and look at the problems they have caused.
Mr. Grover Burchill, how can you mention the “quad” in relation to Ramaswamy? In case you don’t know, the quad is a communist-Islamic ‘union’ at this point.
Vivek Ramaswamy is a pagan worshiper. You cannot serve Two Masters ( Matthew 6:24), which is what Vivek ( Hindu ), Biden ( Catholic ), Obama ( Muslim ) and what Trump is still doing after switching to Non-Denominational ( no particular non-denominational Church in 2020 ). Trump got prayers in 2016. He and Melania defied Heavenly Jehovah Yahweh Lord God ( HFJYLG) and they supported Same Sex Marriage before the world. They Supported LBGQTPZ Agenda against the will of HFJYLG. Neither, are good and together they are an adulterer and a fornicator. Their daily life is filled with sin and winning would surely make them think that HFJYLG approve of their sins. He does not. They showed their hatred of HFJYLG by appointing a homosexual as Ambassador to Germany. They didn’t care about HFJYLG through Yeshua Jesus Christ Messiah with the Holy Spirit. They will do the same behaviour, even though they know that HFJYLG’s will is to SAVE SOULS not foster paths to HELL. Trump sold his soul to the Devil, because he was not qualified to be USA President, which is the reason for him supporting LBGQTPZ in 2016 and 2020. This is RON DeSANTIS time, not Trump’s. HFJYLG will not show Trump favor, because he was to back RON DeSANTIS for President in 2024. Trump’s extreme lack of knowledge will only cause more problems for HFJYLG’s Children. He cannot even trust himself, which forces him to do the same DAMN THING THAT HE DID IN 2016 TO 2020. He used people with non allegiance to Heavenly Father God, this country, the families and this world and it bite Trump in his ass. HENCE, ALL OF THE ATTACKS HE’S RECEIVING. TRUMP is an Entertainer, a Player, Building Contractor and a “Wandering Soul”. His knowledge of government can fit in a thumb thimble. Neither Trump nor Biden are fit to hold this Nation’s highest office. The Democrats have no semblance of a qualified Presidential Candidate. They are equally evil with Biden. Trump’s selfishness and the unfaithfulness of those who encouraged Trump to run, they will cause the anger of HFJYLG to remove favor from the USA. SIN IS NOT TO BE PROMOTED OR TOLERATED IN THE HIGHEST OFFICE OF THE LAND.
UNLESS ITS RON DESANTIS IN THE USA WHITE HOUSE AS PRESIDENT IN 2024, there shall be a continuance of SINS taught to the next generation and the world, promoted by Jezebel’s followers. Holy Bible Book “1 Kings”
DONALD TRUMP must repent, which he won’t do. He would have to get out of his Adultery Marriage to Melania. Because of this sin, Donald Trump, Jr followed his Dad into sin, divorcing his Covenant Wife ( with children ) and he too commits Adultery. Trump’s only Covenant Wife is Marla Maples. Him switching Churches to non-denominational is a step in the right direction, but it won’t change his vexed spirit. He must stop using the Lord’s name in vain as a political tool, repent of adultery and follow HFJYLG in REAL TIME. That is a STRONG MAN OF HFJYLG through Yeshua Jesus Christ Messiah with the Holy Spirit.
Otherwise, he must promote RON DeSANTIS as the best and only fully qualified Candidate for USA President 2024 and gift RON with all of his delegates.
My prayer is for HFJYLG to do whatever is needed to cleanse this nation of all unrighteous, sinful leadership throughout this Nation and the World.
Amen, Hallelujah.

God has used pagans to accomplish some of His work. Cyrus, for one.
All have sinned and fall short of the Gory of God.
May the one who has not sinned throw the first stone.
