Savage is a deeply religions man. However, he is not a fan of organized religion. In a 2007 broadcast<ref>Wednesday, June 27 2007, "The Savage Nation," 750 KPRC (Houston).</ref>, Savage denounced organized religion, and any faith that professes to be the one way to God. He unfavorably compared fundamentalist Christianity and fundamentalism Islam. He also expressed his belief that all religions that teach morality from God are good. As a result, while Savage is a great spokesman for the conservative political viewpoint, he is seemingly not very favorable for Christians listeners.
