US Vice President JD Vance has sparked headlines after revealing that he hopes his Hindu-raised wife, Usha Vance, will one day embrace Christianity. Speaking at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi, Vance said his wife often joins him at church and that their three children are being raised Christian. He also emphasised respect for her Hindu background, saying faith is a matter of free will. His comments come amid rising discussions on religion, identity and interfaith relationships in the US. While the remarks drew applause from conservatives, they also triggered online backlash and renewed debate over faith and family.
