... but they did win the vote of your group.

You know nothing about "my group", as I have no such "group", unless you want to "group" me with the plurality of reasoning people who don't subscribe to "groupthink" of any sort.

I can see your silly charts now, without the hinderance of a firewall. Your assumptions are as silly as the silly assumptions made in your silly charts.

Church attendance has nothing to do with belief in God. Neither does church attendance have anything to do with political propensity to vote one way or the other, as the majority of Obama voters "attend church" and claim to be Christian, as is their right.

You want to belong to a cohesive, vote-alike "group" that does not exist.

Here's a choice of "groups" for you. Reasoning, constitutional conservative individuals do not vote for communist, collectivist candidates; and communist, collectivist voters do not vote for candidates who support the constitutional freedoms of individuals.

You want a religious tyranny, which is no better than any other sort of tyranny. I prefer the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of religion, wherein each individual can worship as he or she sees fit.

The Age of Reason that provided the platform for the formation of this nation also had its share of clerics of various sorts who each wanted to instill a religious tyranny of their own flavor and choosing. The founders had to resist such religious tyrants, just as they resisted the political tyranny of Britain. Here's what Jefferson had to say about the topic:

"I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."
Thomas Jefferson
"Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear."
Thomas Jefferson

Of course, such reasoning is a terrifying prospect to those who choose to live in "blind-folded fear".

The data as shown in post 93 and post 51 says different.

If you are secular, or indifferent to Christianity, then you are overwhelmingly likely to be a liberal voter, and anti-conservative.

Look at your personal category in those charts, it explains why you so despise conservatives, LOL, it must torment you to have to vote with us to get our economic policies.
