Growing up, Bernie Sanders followed the path of many young American Jews. He went to Hebrew school, was bar mitzvahed and traveled to Israel to work on a kibbutz.
But as an adult, Sanders drifted away from Jewish customs. And as his bid for the White House gains momentum, he has the chance to make history. Not just as the first Jewish president â but as one of the few modern presidents to present himself as not religious.
"I am not actively involved with organized religion," Sanders said in a recent interview.
Sanders said he believes in God, though not necessarily in a traditional manner.
"I think everyone believes in God in their own ways," he said. "To me, it means that all of us are connected, all of life is connected, and that we are all tied together."
Sanders's religious views, which he has rarely discussed, set him apart from the norm in modern American politics, in which voters have come to expect candidates from both parties to hold traditional views about God and to speak about their faith journeys.

Nice visual representation of Socialism. I applaud you.
Just to add to that socialism visual.....the fastest growing religion in America is no religion.
Bernie and Communist buddies on religion:
..Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people”
Communists do not go to church in fact when they take charge of a country, they persecute those who do go to church.
He’s a communist, and a communist state requires atheism.
Bern will make an excellent dhimmi.
Yes, Bernie believes all people are equal. Is he willing to equalize his personal millions of dollars for the common good?
Because he’s a commie.
Of course not, don’t be silly!
He’s special, and not a normal person. /s
Bernie’s God is Communism, where the only god is the state.
Why do you think that is?
Re: Yes, Bernie believes all people are equal. Is he willing to equalize his personal millions of dollars for the common good?
No because some animals are more equal than others.
Sounds sort of like Bernie believes in the Force.

“Why Bernie Sanders doesn’t participate in organized religion”
Uh, because Bernie’s a godless communist?
IOW, he worships socialism.
The Soviet Union was officially atheist.
Saunders and Schumer are two examples of phony Jews.
He wails well.. Could be.
