Buttigieg's "faith journey" begins with father, who studied to become a Jesuit for a time, and although the elder Buttigieg later became irreligious, and in his memoir, "Shortest Way Home," "Mayor Pete" credits Catholicism with awakening his moral conscience, "as a voice for the oppressed and downtrodden," which he sees homosexuals as. However, as a proponent of  The Federal Equality Act, Buttigieg supports persecuting those who uphold the rejecting the incontrovertible Biblical teaching that only condemns homosexual relations and only joins male and female in marriage, as the Lord Jesus Himself specified.<ref>https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+19%3A4-6&version=KJV; Matthew 19:4-6]</ref><ref>[HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONS and the BIBLE http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/Homosex_versus_the_Bible.html]</ref>

Later, as a student at [[Harvard University]],  Buttigieg heard the famed homosexual preacher and proxy servant of the devil, Peter Gomes, expound on so-called "progressive Christianity,"  and as a consequence Buttigieg attests,  "I began to understand the range of Christian traditions beyond the Catholicism I was steeped in at South Bend," and wrote columns in the Harvard Crimson that exhorted liberals to seize the moral high ground (as perversely defined  by him) from conservatives. However, as  R. Albert Mohler (president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky)  states,  "Progressive Christianity necessitates replacing Christianity with an entirely new religion." "Mayor Pete is just the latest prophet of this new religion. He won't be the last.

Studying at Oxford (England) on a Rhodes scholarship, Buttigieg stated the program was "decidedly atheistic" and which he  found convincing in many ways. However, wanting some sort of spirituality, he attended services at Anglican Christ Church, which was across from the college. After moving back to South Bend, Indiana,  he began  began attending services at the Cathedral of St. James, which is part of the Episcopal church (the American branch of Anglicanism), and which has become known as a forerunner of  "progressive" (meaning unbiblical) theology, electing  the adulterer and sodomite Gene Robinson its first openly homosexual bishop and  voting to allow same-sex marriages in 2003.  At that local church Buttigieg "married" his boyfriend, Chasten Glezman, in  June 2018, and the readings included including a passage from the Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage and an excerpt from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/16/politics/pete-buttigieg-religious-journey/index.html How Pete Buttigieg found God]</ref> (which was another case of Buttigieg misappropriating Scripture in order to justify what it  condemns).

Consistent with the liberal social gospel, which gives a low priority to the teachings of Christ (while marginalizing the teachings of Paul etc. which were inspired by the Spirit of Christ) on personal moral purity in preference to acts such as feeding the (genuinely) needy, Buttigieg criticized right-wing Christians for "saying so much about what Christ said so little about, and so little about what he said so much about." Which, like [[Barack Obama]], indicates ignorance of the totality of what Christ taught and how He did so, and the context of His social actions and the principals of sound interpretation,<ref>[https://www.frc.org/issueanalysis/leviticus-jesus-and-homosexuality-some-thoughts-on-honest-interpretation] Leviticus, Jesus, and Homosexuality: Some Thoughts on Honest Interpretation</ref> as well as the evidence that the evangelical church has been very substantially engaged in providing humanitarian aid,<ref>[http://www.gordonconwell.edu/ockenga/research/documents/USMissionsSurvey_FINALReport.pdf] US Missions Survey FINAL Report</ref> and encourages sacrificial giving to help others, which evangelicals engage in more of than other major groups.<ref>John Ronsvalle and Sylvia Ronsvalle, The State of Church Giving through 2004: Will We Will? 16th ed.
