In many communities, the Episcopal Church is where you "have" to go once you reach a certain social level (in some, Presbyterian and maybe Methodist are also acceptable). There is also the question of inertia, not wanting to leave a church where you know everybody and are comfortable.
And a smart rector will give the congregation a lot of leeway and not push frankly political junk. We left ECUSA because our rector proclaimed at the time of the whole gay bishop nonsense that anybody who didn't subscribe to his views was not only stupid but evil.

I know what you mean. But Gorsuch’s religious morality is far from Antonin Scalia’s. At times that will become apparent in Gorsuch’s future decisions. The point I was trying to make is that Gorsuch is actaully a genuine liberal in his religioous life, someone who the democrats should be supporting.
But the leftist “Hewy Newton” revolutionary liberal fascists still have a strangle hold on the Dem party, and who actually gutted Bernie Sanders who is not left enough.The mid term elections will show many of these Schumer leftists the door.
Perhaps Schumer will bow to moderate Dems and support Gorsuch.If there every was a time for the Dem moderates to show their stuff, its on the Gorsuch confirmation hearings.If Trump is smart, he will use Gorsuch as a wedge to split of moderate Dems from the liberal fascist wing of the party.
