Chelsea Clinton said God and religion guides so much of her mother's "moral compass" that she can't help but feel insulted when people question her family's faith.
"My mother is very deeply a person of faith," Ms. Clinton, the only child of former President Bill Clinton and Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, said at a recent fundraiser, the New York Post reported.
"It is deeply authentic and real for my mother, and it guides so much of her moral compass, but also her life's work," the 35-year-old added.
Hillary was raised as a Methodist, Bill grew up as a Baptist, and Chelsea's husband, Marc Mezvinsky, is Jewish. Chelsea explained that her family's religious diversity doesn't diminish their commitment to God, the New York Post reported.
"I find it quite insulting sometimes when people say to my mom, my dad or me ⦠that they question our faith," she said. "I was raised in a Methodist church and I left the Baptist church before my dad did, because I didn't know why they were talking to me about abortion when I was 6 in Sunday school - that's a true story."
"I recognized that there were many expressions of faith that I don't agree with and feel [are] quite antithetical to how I read the Bible," she said. "But I find it really challenging when people who are self-professed liberals kind of look askance at my family's history."

Very odd that she even brought up this subject unless there is something at the original piece that I am unaware of, as I did not read it.
Moral compass? BWHAHAHAHAHA! You mother doesn't even comprehend the meaning of morality, and we won't even go there with your "father". No, wealth and power is the ONLY thing that guides your mother and you apparently....
Chelsea, we don’t give two sh*ts as to what your Hubbell family’s faith is.
Bhaal, the god of Murder. (D&D reference here)
Nothing says "Christian" like being a pro-choice (abortion) zealot.
What faith? Which faith?
Don’t know about you personally, Chelsea, but it’s clear Bill worships the god Eros and Hill worships her god, Marx. Now, quit trying to sell us baloney.
Girl, you can rest easy that I, for one, have never questioned that there was any question that your family had faith.
You have just crossed over into...
The Twilight Zone.
If it’s so real to her, why doesn’t she live like a Christian?
Hillary has faith in people being STUPID!!!! She KNOWS they are STUPID!!!
No, just Satan.
We question your faith, honesty, integrity, patriotism - we question everything about the Clinton crime syndicate.
Get over it little girl.
We understand you and believe that all three of you are firm in your belief and commitment to Satan!
