William H. Taft

Taft was a Unitarian. His family (the Tafts) were old New England stock - descendants of the Puritan colonists of Massachusetts, and therefore Congregationalists. The Unitarian church was basically a spin-off the Congregational church which had discarded all the non-abstract elements of Christianity: the Trinity, the Resurrection, miracles and saints, and the idea that Jesus wsa the Son of God, and himself an aspect of God. What's left is a belief in God as an all-powerful and benevolent but very abstract force, and respect for the Christian traditions of worship and for Jesus as a man of immense wisdom. There is no evidence that the Tafts had any Jewish ancestry or associations whatsoever.

Roosevelt was passionate about many progressive issues, such as conservation and social justice, however, and became so progressive to the point that he began to displease the more conservative, GOP members. In addition, Taft was the incumbent president and party leader, giving him leverage over Roosevelt, and ultimately earning him the Republican nomination. As a result of this rejection, Roosevelt formed his own political party - the Progressive (Bull-Moose) party.
