That is because the bulk of Indians in the US are a selected group of high-status persons or highly educated in India or the US. They (mostly) bear the taint of their socialization/education. They are rarely the sort that take their own religion seriously - not the sort of people who pull sacred chariots around in festivals.

There are a lot (a minority, still) of Indians in the US who are much more traditional. A bunch came out when PM Modi visited the US, and those seem to be Trump supporters. Modi supporters map very closely to Trump supporters. That does not mean that they are tolerant of Christianity (in India).

Very good analysis. As with most religions (but hardly all) the more devout people are, the more Republican and perhaps even conservative they tend to be. OTOH being more secular nearly always means being more liberal and Democrat.

These days, secularism seems to have a huge lead in popularity nearly everywhere.

Thanks for the clarification-but I still don’t get who Tick was referring to-other than apparently criticizing “Spaniards”...
