Afiliación religiosa en la Cámara de Representantes de los Estados Unidos

Este artículo cubre la afiliación religiosa en la Cámara de Representantes de los Estados Unidos .

Si bien la preferencia religiosa de los funcionarios electos no es en modo alguno una indicación de su lealtad ni necesariamente un reflejo de su historial de votación, la afiliación religiosa de miembros destacados de las tres ramas del gobierno es una fuente de comentarios y debates entre los medios de comunicación y el público. El tema también es de interés para los grupos religiosos y el público en general, que pueden apelar a los representantes de su denominación sobre cuestiones religiosas o morales que enfrenta la Cámara de Representantes.
