Charlie Kirk's evangelical Christian faith shaped his politics : NPR
Conservative activist Charlie Kirk's memorial service, attended by Vice President Vance and President Trump, resembled a religious revival. Speakers lauded Kirk as a prophet and martyr for American liberty, emphasizing his strong evangelical faith, which deeply influenced his political views. Kirk's life, from founding Turning Point USA to establishing TPUSA Faith, reflected this integration of faith and politics. While initially advocating for separation of church and state, he later reversed this stance, believing America's founding was inherently Protestant Christian. However, some observers express concern over the 'martyr' label, warning of potential escalation.
