What was Theodore Roosevelts religion?

Answer 1

In his Autobiography, TR says, "When we were in Washington, the children usually went with their mother to the Episcopal church, while I went to the Dutch Reformed."

He attended both the Dutch Reformed - his family's church - and Episcopalian - his wife's preferred denomination. He was also an occasional guest speaker at churches. While he attended church and ostensibly believed in God, religion seems not to have been a major influence in his public life.

Interestingly, his Progressive campaign in 1912 took on a sort of religious fervor when he said, "we stand at Armageddon, and we battle for the Lord." Those who study Theodore Roosevelt might look to this as a sort of ridiculous publicity stunt, more reflective of his own ego and desperation than of any religious conviction.

Answer 2

Theodore Roosevelt's religion is listed as Reformed Dutch.
