* HollywoodAtheist: Vinick's absence from Sunday services causes friction with the Republican base, especially after Reverend Butler extends an invitation to his church. Vinick tells his staff that he hasn't attended church since his wife passed away, giving the impression that her death caused a CrisisOfFaith. [[SubvertedTrope In reality]], as he later admits to Bartlet, he became an atheist after thoroughly reading the Bible and finding that he disagreed with many of its teachings. He declines Butler's invitation as attending would be a political move, and he doesn't agree with using the church that way.

* TheFundamentalist: Downplayed with Reverend Don Butler. He is respectful and courteous toward the Pro-Choice Arnold Vinick. Still, he makes it plain that, whatever political ambitions he has, he won't join Vinick's ticket due to their differing opinions on abortion.

-->'''C.J.:''' Oh, so it's Russell's White House, now?
-->'''Bailey:''' It's the vice-president's turf. He belongs here, they don't.
