Atheists and Agnostics Support Bernie Sanders While Christians and Jews Favor Joe Biden..Says Survey

The national Pew Research Center survey of registered Democrats released Friday found Biden holds the support of 36 percent of Protestants and a whopping 44 percent of black Protestants, four times more than any other candidate. Catholic and Jewish voters also leaned toward Biden, while nearly twice as many atheists, agnostics and unaffiliated voters support either Sanders or Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. Meanwhile, religiously-unaffiliated Democrats, a broad group also referred to as "nones," expressed overwhelming support for Sanders and Warren as their favored Democratic presidential candidates.
Thirty-six percent of agnostics, or people who claim neither faith nor disbelief in the existence of God or a higher power, said they support Sanders, compared to 16 percent who support Biden. Additionally, Sanders holds the highest percentage of support from atheists, who are defined by Merriam-Webster as "a person who does not believe in the existence of a god or any gods." Warren trails just behind Sanders in atheist support but both progressive candidates have twice the backing of any other Democrat.
Both Biden and Sanders have three times as much support from Hispanic Catholics as Warren, who garnered only 7 percent of support from that religious group.


Sanders and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg would make history by becoming the first Jewish U.S. president. But Biden has nearly three times as much support from Jews who identify as Democrats.
Biden's significant advantage among black Protestants has remained steady, but 30 percent of respondents said they are still undecided about their top 2020 candidate.



only a Survey




Although I think religion should stay out of politics


Dems are for all.....who ever we are

They can poll vegans vs meat-eaters, right-handed vs. left-handed, tall people vs. short. It's hard to place value on these correlations.

If I cared enough about religion (which I don't) to label myself as anything, it would be an atheist. And my husband as well. And we are both Biden supporters.

At the Jewish caucus there was a sanders delegate wearing a large cross on the outside of his shirt yelling at us and telling us that we were bad Jews for not supporting sanders. It was so unreal that it was funny.
