Veep includes LGBTQ+ characters and themes, primarily through incidental depictions like Kent Davison's same-sex partner, which normalizes queer relationships. While some characters, like Jonah Ryan, make problematic remarks, these are consistently framed as character flaws within the show's satirical context. The overall portrayal is neither strongly affirming nor denigrating, fitting a neutral stance where queer identity is present but not central to the narrative's main thrust.

The show consistently satirizes the cynical and hypocritical use of Christianity by politicians for electoral gain, depicting their public displays of faith as opportunistic and superficial. The narrative offers no counterbalancing portrayal of genuine religious conviction or positive impact, reinforcing a problematic view of its role in politics.
