All of my evangelical friends kept telling me that Huckabee was going to "take off" among the general population. They kept saying that it was only a matter of time before non-evangelicals flocked to him. They kept insisting that he was the next POTUS. None of that ever happened. They just couldn't understand that the vast majority of the populace simply doesn't think like them. Sort of like the people who think a nationwide "revival" is always around the next corner, when in reality, religion in America will probably go the way of European Christendom.
I did not like him but not because of his religion. I did not like his other beliefs. You can not say that about my church which is growing by leaps and bounds. It is a conservative Southern Baptist Church.
Every evangelical type I've ever met was a recovering alcoholic. Something about years of substance abuse reduces a persons brain to babbling verses from ancient scrolls passed down from tribes of sandal wearing middle eastern bonze age goat herders and then not understanding why sane people keep avoiding them.
I don’t like Huckabee’s socialism.
And Christianity is still the most widely held religious belief, of all...with Islam 2nd...last I checked.
