Herschel Walker is a conservative member of the Republican party who follows Christianity. Surrounded by evangelical leaders and fellow politicians, the former athlete is a Christian by religion and is outspoken about his devotion.

The politician often quotes the bible when asked about his political views on some issues. But what brought about this question of his religion is that the star athlete had children out of wedlock.

According to Walker, he did not hide about his three children born out of wedlock, but it is that he does not wish to talk about his children to promote his campaign.

Herschel tried to sound like a caring father, but contradictory to his statements, Herschel loved to talk about his legitimate son in his interviews in the past. But when it came to his three illegitimate children, he did not want to speak about it.

Furthermore, the Republican member was the one who stated that fatherless families are the main problem in African societies. However, his abandoning his children makes him a part of the problem based on his former statements.

Despite his contradictory actions against Christianity and the conservative party, it seems that the evangelical society of political leaders does not care about morality and the small details anymore as they are supporting the new candidate for Senate.

Herschel Walker is a local to the state of Georgia, born to his parents, Willis Walker and Christine Walker, on March 3, 1962. His parents raised him in Wrightsville alongside six other siblings.

Walker had a tough childhood with his parents working in a blue-collar job at the time with seven children to take care of every day. The former athlete had his struggles with obesity and stuttering.

According to the politician, his parents were strict in parenting and told young Walker not to make excuses, which made him solve his own problems at a young age.

Studying in a high school in Wrightsville, he started getting into sports and finally found his love for football which later became his career, making him a legend.

The Senate candidate married his college girlfriend, Cindy DeAngelis Grossman, in 1983 and had his own little family after parenting a son named Christian.

However, the couple separated in 2002, and the former player started getting more into business and politics.

Herschel Walker belongs to the African-American ethnicity as his parents were from Africa, but he was born in America, owning American citizenship.

Born and raised in America, the politician got influenced by the American society and their beliefs and leaned further into the conservative republican community.
