For the discussion, first a map of leading church bodies as of 2000 by county:
And then a map of the 2008 election results by county:
To me, the maps suggest that when a conservative religious body is dominant in a county that voted liberal, the members need to put more effort into their outreach, i.e. to get the conservative values across to their members and to the community.

Thanks for those maps.
To me, they are very telling. A lot of blue in the denomination one and a lot of pink, red, and light pink in the same areas.
The big cities kill our elections don’t they?

LOL, of course but it may take some effort to put together a strategy on how to spread the word on something so complex and diverse to so many people in so many counties. I wish you well on that and I think that it would eventually pay off if you can put it together.
I think the political parties get into things on that scale.
