The 2024 election ushered in a new era of hope for religious Americans, who had just survived one of the most hostile administrations in American history and been rescued from the possibility of a Harris–Walz hellscape.

This hope transformed into intense religious revival and political conviction following the gruesome assassination of Turning Point USA founder and president Charlie Kirk in 2025. Catholics and Protestants unified in mourning Kirk’s death. They looked towards the future with faith and hope for change, motivated by their shared Christian values.
