    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.
