I also get tired of hearing about how religious, conservative, and family-oriented "Hispanics" (i.e. Spanish speaking American aboriginals) are. If by "religious" they mean retaining village superstitions, going through the motion of kissing icons and using religious imagery in gang tattoos, then yes, they are religious. If by "family oriented" they mean having large numbers of offspring who they can't support financially and won't raise and discipline, yes, they're "family oriented." If by "conservative" they mean following the same dead-end behavior patterns that lead to indigence, ignorance, and poverty for generations, they are indeed "conservative."
Wow, what a wonderfully insightful summation of Christian Sectarianism!
(Not that I am disagreeing with your point)
Mormon’s, Midwestern Evangelical’s and various different Charismatic Christian movements seem to be able to cope with each other as compatible political partners for the Republican’s(when the Evangelicals can avoid calling Mormonism a Cult)...
While Northeastern Catholics and whatever you want to label the various ‘liberal minded’ denominations (Methodist, Lutheran, Episcopalian, etc.) now have a tendency to vote Democrat, which the Catholics being very hesitant due solely to Abortion.
The US is still vastly Christian in its religious affiliations... but from a political perspective ‘Christians’ are no longer a voting demographic that moves one direction in the polling booth.
