US Vice President JD Vance has spoken openly about his hopes for his wife Usha’s faith. Vance, a Christian, expressed his desire for Usha, who is Hindu, to embrace Christianity. He believes deeply in the Christian message and hopes she will eventually share his perspective. Crucially, Vance emphasized that he fully supports her right to choose, stating that if she doesn’t convert, it aligns with the divine concept of free will and poses no personal conflict. This sentiment was shared during a gathering where Vance fielded a question about interfaith family dynamics. He acknowledged the complexities involved in marriages with differing religious backgrounds, whether between faiths or denominations. Vance shared that his family’s approach centers on open communication and a shared commitment to raising their children as Christians. He advised others in similar situations to engage in honest conversations and make decisions collectively as a family unit. Vance also reflected on his own journey, noting that he was agnostic or atheist when he first met Usha at Yale. Usha, he believes, held similar views at the time. While her family background is Hindu, Vance described it as not being particularly religious. Vance himself has a multifaceted faith journey, having returned to Protestantism and later converting to Catholicism, which he now follows with devotion.
