In 2021, the couple placed a mezuzah on the doorframe of the vice presidential residence, marking the first time in history that this has happened. Vice President Harris has been described as someone who understands firsthand what it means to live in a multireligious democracy.
A survey conducted by The Associated Press and the independent organization NORC Center for Public Affairs reveals that a significant portion of Harris's base perceives her as a religious person. Despite this, Harris does not frequently talk about her faith in public and does not attend church regularly like Biden does.
It has been mentioned that during her childhood, Harris attended the Church of God on 23rd Avenue in Oakland, California, and also a Hindu temple. However, in her adult life, she has maintained relationships with the Black Church and its tradition of political organizing.
During a visit to the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta, Harris used the parable of the Good Samaritan to connect testimonies of faith, action, and power. Reverend Jamal Bryant highlighted the importance of Harris at that moment.
In a recent interview, Amos Brown, pastor of the Third Baptist Church of San Francisco, described Harris as a follower of Jesus whose faith is expressed more through actions than words. Brown has been a significant religious figure for Harris over the years.
Despite criticisms from some Trump allies about Harris's relationship with the Black Church, it has been highlighted that her faith is active and manifests through her actions. Harris, who has been part of Brown's church for about two decades, has sought inspiration and spiritual support in her political journey.
