Let's face it, Democrats in the USA and religious folks in the USA.. [View all]
not exactly compatible.
A recent survey indicated most Democrats were either non-religious, or very liberal Cathoic, a few liberal Protestant, mostly not true-believers in a god.
Unitarians, Catholics, non-believer/agnostics, (most of them not weekly church-goers). These are the people who actually vote; many of them don't go to a church every week, many of them go to church less than five times a year, all self-described as "liberal" or "progressive" and mostly vote Democratic.
One has to wonder why Catholics, Episcopalians, Unitarians, and some Congregationalists make up the majority of Democrats who claim a Christian religious affiliation. And over 60% of Jewish folks. and over 80% of Muslims choose Democrats on the ballot.
By contrast, most of all of the self-described 25% of Christians do describe themselves as "conservatives" and vote Republican.
Less than 40% of Jewish folks describe themselves as "conservative" and often vote Republican.
Is there a common theme? Is there a message from religions that translates into votes?
