Pew Poll: Cruz Backed by White Evangelicals, Weekly Church-Goers; Trump by Mainline Protestants

“45 percent of Republican men back Trump, the percentage reduces to 38 among women Republican voters. On the contrary, while 30 percent of Republican men support Cruz, his support increases to 34 among women”

AND TRUMP BEATS CRUZ AMONG WOMEN 38-34!!!!

This writer tries to put it differently but the numbers don’t lie.

There is no collapse among women, only the liberal hags who aren’t voting for ANY Republican.

Trump leads among Republican Women!

A classic definition of a cult is a religious group that purports to be a genuine member of the historic orthodox beliefs of said group and rejects those historical beliefs. It has deviated so significantly that it is illegitimate.

Since your Protestant derived faith community and alliance is protesting Protestantism while upholding the ecumenical councils (Nicea, et. al.) that preceded Protestantism, I would not define it as a cult.

Of course, the term has wider applications beyond this definition, as witnessed in Elizabeth's story. Sometimes I use it in the latter, especially with Fundamentalists.

While the theology may differ, the plotlines in this popular genre vary little: the author's childhood was a horror, leaving the group required great courage, and integrating into mainstream society afterwards remains a disorienting, difficult process. Popular blogger Elizabeth Esther's Girl at the End of the World: My Escape From Fundamentalism in Search of a Faith with a Future, set to release next Tuesday, March 18, is a recent addition to the genre.

Donald Trump is preferred by white mainline Protestants and those who attend religious services less frequently.

Are these just social christians? The ones that only kneel when they are lining up a putt?

I find it interesting and believable, that from the article it shows Cruz has even less support among women than what Trump has....

“The poll also points out that Trump performs better among Republican men than women, as 45 percent of Republican men back Trump, the percentage reduces to 38 among women Republican voters. On the contrary, while 30 percent of Republican men support Cruz, his support increases to 34 among women.”

Cruz 34% Trump 38%

I think you hit the nail on the noggin

I also think the figures are wrong, possibly because of people’s irritation at being asked their faith, churchgoing habits, etc. I’m an evangelical Christian (and it does mean “to evangelize”) regular every-week churchgoer and straight-laced (well, sorta) Baptist, and I’m for Trump, as are most of my family and acquaintances of all stripes. The only Cruzers are a couple of Pentecostals and a pastor who never sees the internet.

Okay, said my piece, going away now. :-)

False Witness. Trump wins Evangelicals as SC showed. So this article and polls it cites are provably a lie.

Trump carried there because the Pope endorsed him .
