I AM looking at poll data. I'm gonna make a flying guess at where you're getting that number. Identifying yourself as "Christian" is not the same as identifying yourself as "conservative". Those numbers are further broken down by denomination into "conservative" and "liberal". Thus you can have an overwhelming majority of Evangelical Protestants who identify themselves as conservative but you can have an overwhelming majority of Democrat say.... Catholics.

I am not talking at all about religious denominations or Christian identification.

I am talking about mainstream political polls over the past thirty years. They are consistent in showing self-identifying conservatives outnumbering self-identifying liberals two-to-one. Gallup, Harris, take your pick.

Now, it is true that moderates are usually as numerous or slightly more than conservatives, but that is not what I was talking about where you said I was "wrong."
