I know some people enjoy trolling for this sort of statistic. Like the ones who harp that 56% of Catholics voted for Obama and 46% of Protestants voted for McCain. It is misleading. A few years back there was a survey that said Catholics overwhelmingly thought that abortion was okay. When you got to the end of the hit piece, I mean article it said only 229 Catholics were polled. Agenda? It’s hard to take this seriously even though the same people will jump on the band wagon.

Obama did win 54% of the Catholic vote, which is normal, since Catholics have only voted Republican 6 times in 100 years, and probably our entire history, and Protestants have only voted Democrat 3 times in our history, (or at least 100 years).

Means 54% of protestants voted for someone other than McCain. That was the point. What percentage of these "Catholic" people actually attend a church... ever? My sister claims she's a Catholic. She hasn't been to church regularly for about 30 years, since she was in high school. It is a dishonest representation. But she'd never tell anyone that she 'doesn't do any religion'.
