Obama is not a practicing Christian, and he was the 44th presidency. But Grover Cleveland was counted as 2 separate presidencies, so only 42 people before Obama were president of the United States. But if “43 of them” is referring to presidencies and not individuals, it holds.
Trump and Biden also both identify as Christians too, bringing the total to 45 presidencies out of 46, and 44 out of 45 people who have been president of the United States.
And to be especially nitpicky, a few early presidents are speculated to have been atheists or deists, not Christians.
Trump CLAIMS to be Christian. Obama doesn’t. I respect self-identification.
Edit: I apparently also live under a rock and am totally wrong about Obama identifying as Christian later in life. I had only ever heard the anecdotes about how he was raised secular and assumed he was reasonable enough to remain that way
In January 2008, Obama told Christianity Today: “I am a Christian, and I am a devout Christian. I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I believe that faith gives me a path to be cleansed of sin and have eternal life.”[110] On September 27, 2010, Obama released a statement commenting on his religious views, saying:
I’m a Christian by choice. My family didn’t—frankly, they weren’t folks who went to church every week. And my mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew, but she didn’t raise me in the church. So I came to my Christian faith later in life, and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead—being my brothers’ and sisters’ keeper, treating others as they would treat me.[111][112]
