I'm a Republican and I'm a Christian. These are two great ideas that indeed should be associated with each other. What's wrong with being right?
Either you believe in God and His creation as told in His Book, or you think of yourself as a kind of bald ape, ready to fornicate with anything that moves and are unable to grasp any concept of dignity, nation or justice - in short, you're a liberal.

But who are the 30 percent calling themselves Republicans and at the same time reject God's word? That part of the poll is quite hard to believe.

I’m still quite amazed at folks, such as yourself, who can live in such a strictly binary world as you describe. Bothered by not in the least, mind you, it’s a great big world with a lot of strange beliefs (for instance eating dog in the first half of the lunar month for good luck, and cat in the 2nd half), but the “it’s this or that with nothing in the middle” is hard for me to grasp.

Those are the Republicans who will leave the party if it is turned into the Christian party. Bringing faithful people into a political party is a winning idea, *if* the party is not turned into a religious party. The faith part needs to be left behind when dabbling in politics and at the voting booth, if there is any chance of success.

How many religious denominations are there in the US? None of them can politically dominate the entire country. And if a political party becomes a religious party, then it's inevitable that doctrinal conflicts will arise and split it apart.

The founders were wise to separate religion and politics. It should stay that way.

My liberal friends here in NYC all describe and dismiss the Republican Party the same way: a party overtaken by fundamentalist Christians.

I wouldn't say that. Anyone who was in the College Republicans in school knows that being a Republican doesn't necessarily mean one is a fundamentalist Christian!

Is there a religious litmus test to be Republican or to be conservative? Must one be Christian to be either Republican or even American? And I do not believe in a literal interpretation of Genesis, but I am Christian. I don't believe in a limited God.
