Two days ago on the religion forum we had a character saying that S.C. had bigoted anti Catholics who would not vote for a Catholic. According to these figures, protestants voted for Newt (Catholic) in greater percentage that self identified Catholics did.
I’m not Catholic but Newt has my vote. Romney? Never! Of course religion matters and I’ll vote for The Christian any day as opposed to the Mormon. I couldn’t possibly vote for a man that believes all that mormon hokum.
I’m Jewish and don’t believe in any kind of Christianity.
But I voted for Catholic Turner over Jewish Weprin because Turner’s conservative values were more in sync with my own than Weprin’s. And this was the case for most of the religious Jews in my district. Values won over identity politics.
