(CNSNews.com) – Black Americans are the most religious in the United States, according to a newly released Gallup Poll.

In a daily tracking survey released July 1, Gallup found that 53 percent of black Americans were identified as being “very religious,” with 33 percent saying they were “moderately religious.”

That stands in contrast to the 39 percent of white Americans who said they were “very religious” and the 26 percent who said they were “moderately religious.”

Only 13 percent of blacks said they were “nonreligious,” versus 34 percent of whites.

Gallup: Blacks Most Religious Group in U.S.

Only if you consider Jeremiah Wright
as the leader of a religious group.

“Gallup: Blacks Most Religious Group in U.S.”

Now if that poll takes in followers of the Revs. Wright, Sharpton & Jackson, one would have to conclude it is highly suspect........and religious not.

And yet blacks vote 96% for the party of death.

This might be good news if blacks didn’t have an alarming tendency of getting mixed up with criminal cult leaders like Jeremiah Wright, Father Pfleagle and the Rev. Jim Jones.

If by “religious” you mean they get dolled up in elaborate dresses and suits to go listen to some overpaid preacher in a gaudy outfit yell for an hour and listen to gospel music, then you are correct.

But they all love to vote for people that push abortion, gay agendas, dependence on the state, racial “justice” platforms, and reverse racism.

So their religion is pretty much just a show. Or they are pretty slow on the uptick.

Because Gallup has been known to tweak obama’s numbers, compared to Rasmussen’s polling process. I just LOL’d when I saw this thread because they absolutely worship obama because he’s sooooooo dreamy and awesome.(gag)

I think that every woman I’ve seen today dressed in abaya/niqab or hijab has been black.

Of course, for the mesh-eyed-niqabber, I can’t really say. In fact, it might have just been a ninja.

My position is that you cannot be a good Christian and vote Democrat. And since 96% of blacks voted for Obama, I think this tells me a lot about their adherence to the word of Jesus Christ.

Unfortunately blacks are most idolatrous group in U.S. Most of them worship government. They look to government to meet their every need and solve all their problems.

Are we including the Hussein cult as a religion?

True story that should give us hope (though I realize anecdotal evidence is not sufficient): I have a friend who is....black, female, from Massachusetts, single, and a public school teacher, union member. She fits every demographic that says she should be a Hussein supporter.

SHE CANNOT STAND HIM! She is a strong Christian woman who does not drink the Obama Kool-Aid. There is hope.
