..members of Congress who identify as Christian – in the 115th Congress, 91% of members were Christian, Christians are overrepresented, according to Pew, given that just 71 percent of all U.S. adults describe themselves as Christians. But by far the largest difference between the U.S. public and Congress is in the share who are unaffiliated with a religious group. In the general public, 23% say they are atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular.” In Congress, just one person – Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., who was recently elected to the Senate after three terms in the House – says she is religiously unaffiliated, making the share of “nones” in Congress 0.2%.
