Sen. Rand Paul, a libertarian who has pitched himself to social conservatives, became the second Republican to launch his campaign Tuesday in Louisville.

Paul was baptized into the Episcopal Church, but he has been a member of the Presbyterian Church in Bowling Green, Ky., which is part of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). “Rand and Kelley are both devout Christians and are active in their local church,” his new Web site’s bio reads.

“My faith has never been easy for me,” Paul said when he spoke in 2012 at the Family Research Council’s Values Voter Summit — an annual social conservative gathering. “Never been easy to talk about and never been without obstacles.”

Paul told the crowd that he struggled to understand “how tragedy could occur in a world that has purpose and design,” saying he does not wear his religion “on my sleeve.”
