If you're asking demographically how they voted in Prez election, per CNN today (their exit polls):
* Jewish vote went 69-30% for Obama (so Romney did better than McCain)
* Roman Catholic vote went 50-48% for Obama...so Roman Catholics helped to give Obama the win...especially in the Upper Midwest states

And these weren't all fringe Catholics either.

CNN found that Obama did better than expected among voters who attended church weekly (39-59%)

White Evangelicals voted for Romney 78-21%
Protestants voted for Romney 57-42%

This means to counterbalance that 78-21%, the rest of the Protestants -- the liberal mainliners + minority Protestants (if they were in equal #s to the White Evangelicals) voted for Obama by about a 63-36% margin...We know blacks went for Obama about 9.5+ out of 10...and Hispanics went for Obama 71-27%...the latter per CNN exit polling data

So the biggest religious contributers to Obama were:
* #1 Black Protestants
* #2 Hispanics & Jews (near 70%)
* #4 Religious Protestant Mainliners (probably would be found in upper 50s percentile)
* #5 Non-Hispanic Catholics (Considering the overall 50-48% included Hispanics, the non-Hispanic Catholic vote was probably close to half)

Uhhh. Isn’t that pretty near everybody? Maybe Romney got 100% of the Zoroastrian vote.
