President Donald Trump is facing a growing backlash over a series of religion-themed social media posts and statements that many Americans view as offensive or inappropriate. A new The Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll found overwhelming disapproval of a now-deleted AI-generated image Trump shared in April depicting himself in Christ-like imagery, while separate comments aimed at Pope Leo XIV and the president's rhetoric surrounding the Iran war drew further criticism. In addition, the poll also found significant disapproval of a comment made by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
