Many devout Catholics vote Donk. Indeed, one of the jokes in my old (Jesuit) high school went: "The last communist wil be an American Catholic nun".

Then you are old. Church-going Catholics overwhelmingly went for Bush.

Many devout Episcopalians vote Donk -

Firstly, I strongly suspect you are much wrong. The "devout" Episcopalians -- those who take the traditional teachings of their church seriously -- I suspect vote GOP. And those who don't take Scriputre seriously and thing Jesus would have no problem with the gay lifestyle, I would not call "devout" nor are there than many of them. The church, like most Mainline churches, have experienced a huge drop in membership.

Did you stop to consider the accuracy of your assertions before you posted?

More than you I suspect.

The Catholic demographics were 52% Bush, 47% Kerry. Hardly an overwhelming majority. And this doesn't jibe with your assertion that 'The regligion of those who vote Democrat is mostly atheism', and with other assertions you've made.

Nope: I'm in but my thirty-seventh year.

wow... 13% = overwhelming in your book? ok.
Now, Tribune7, put your thinking cap on: In what way does 37% of the Catholic vote going to Kerry invalidate my statement: "Many devout Catholics vote Donk"?
37% of the Catholic vote going to a hideous spineless horsefaced Janus of a Donk seems rather to puncture the air of accuracy of your *assertion* that the only sizeable group of church-goers to vote Donk are Blacks.
But... you don't see this, despite (considering the accuracy of your assertions) "More than you I suspect."
You must be using that "New Math" I've heard tell of.

...I would not call "devout" nor are there than many of them....

1. what you'd call "devout" is irrelevant. they are devoted to what their creed.
2. As your stipulation concerned "church-goers" and not level of and debatable standards of devotion, your objection is doubly irrelevant.
3. Yes, there are a whopping boatload of them, and most of the congregations in the Northeast are heavily leftist.
These facts and logical consequences are obvious.
But... you don't see this, despite (considering the accuracy of your assertions) "More than you I suspect."
You must be using that "fuzzy reasoning" we 'old farts' hear rumour of every so often.

More than you I suspect.

mmm-hmmmm... right. sure you did. yeah... that's the ticket.
