Trump opens up about heaven and hell, urges religious revival

by Lydia Davies

Former President Donald Trump discussed mortality and the importance of a religious revival in the US during a recent interview with podcaster Lex Fridman.

During the interview, Trump and Fridman spoke about death and the role of faith in finding peace with it. 

Trump noted that religion can help people face mortality, emphasising that those with faith look forward to Heaven.

He said: "If you're religious, I think you have a better feeling about it. You're supposed to go to Heaven ideally, not Hell, but you're supposed to go to Heaven if you're good."

Trump expressed concern about the decline of religion in America, saying: "Our country is missing a lot of religion," he continued. "I think it really was a much better place with religion. It was almost a guide. You want to be good to people.

"Without religion, there's no real guardrails. I'd love to see us get back to religion, more religion in this country."

Trump claims to be a Christian and has been outspoken in recent months about the importance of maintaining religious liberty in the U.S.
