  1. 3:24 - Let's never forget, we in the US have a secular Constitution. The biggest difference between religious Americans in the left and religious Americans in the right is that far more religious Americans in the right want to make the government a Christian theocracy. Additionally, we need to evolve past the idea that the right is more religious just because they say they are in polling. Many of those who claim to be religious on the right are posturing, frankly. The main reason for this is that the Republican party is openly Christian dominated, and often shows open hostility to other religious faiths or atheism. It is a "go along to get along" answer from GOP voters in some measure. Similarly, there are more Democrats who say they support an end to de-facto segregation in our communities than are willing to actually vote for it when it becomes a referendum on occasion.

  4. @dan mac - Thanks for clarifying. I'm glad my response tried to shed more light on my point, so this isn't making me blush more than I am now.

  5. @dan mac - there is a clear parallel between the Luddites and today's Republican party. They are both engaged in denial about their anachronistic stands against the majority and willing to use violence as a part of their resistance to reality and [in] the maintenance of their cherished delusions.

  6.  @kevinpreston5590  - 9 in 10 white evangelicals support "somewhat more influence", and 7 in 10 white evangelicals support "a great deal more influence" from the Christian Bible over the executive, judicial, and legislative branches. The open adulation of Donald Trump as the instrument of God draws a thick line under this fact. There is no corresponding degree of anti-secularism among the left's faith factions. While there isn't much actual "religiosity" difference between the parties, only a 5% difference. The latest polling says 43% of Republicans are absolutely certain God exists, while 39% of Democrats are absolutely certain God exists. While the strongest supporters of "more God in governance" on the left are Black protestants, and [5]* in 10 want to see "great deal more influence" -- like white evangelicals -- they are understandably skeptical of "returning the Bible to the bench" in general, and esp. at the Supreme Court, or making any particular faith a litmus test for presidential candidates because of the intertwined history of chattel slavery and the white church. Church attendance is usually overstated in polling, and it is only my conjecture, as stated, that there's many Republicans who claim religiosity because it's simpler than "swimming upstream". ____________________________ *CORRECTED
