‘Religion Is Making a Comeback in America’ — Trump Says in Good Friday Message

By Adamu Abubakar Isa

Washington D.C., USA – President Donald Trump delivered a Good Friday address from the Resolute Desk, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ and declaring that faith is experiencing a major comeback across the United States during his second term.

Okay News gathered that in a video shared via Truth Social on April 3, 2026, the President emphasized that religion is a central pillar of American strength. He predicted that church pews this Easter Sunday would be “fuller, younger, and more faithful” than they have been in decades, pointing to his administration’s efforts—such as the America 250 prayer initiative and the White House Faith Office—as catalysts for this cultural shift.

The President invoked scripture during his remarks, quoting John 3:16, and reflected on the significance of Holy Week. He also linked his personal faith to the July 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, reiterating his belief that he was saved by God to “make America great again.”

Since beginning his second term, the President has made religious liberty a focal point, recently issuing new guidance to protect religious expression within the federal workforce. He concluded his message by wishing the nation a “Blessed Easter.”
