It should be interesting to note, that the religious sector
of this Nation has historically voted along democrat lines.

They continue to support the democrat party in all areas,
encouraging their congregations to support candidates of
the democrat political party.

It's no wonder, since all organized religion's agendas are
basically socialistic; their demands for the "banning" of
various media and topics equally socialistic and repressive
of Liberty.

But we should be concerned of their "plight" concerning
"democrat agendas".........   why?

I was going to argue with your assertion that all religions support the democratic party in all areas until I read this:

No point in going near that can of worms.

Gathering, as one must, that you are not Catholic, why is this any of your business?

You're not very deep in history. Study Augustine's City of God, the works of Richard Overton and the Levellers, Thomas Aquinas' Treatise on Law, the Natural Law writings of the Spanish School of Salamanca, the works of Lord Acton, Hilaire Belloc, G.K. Chesterton, Marsilio of Padua, Pope Leo XIII, the German Pietist School and the Abbe de Fenelon.

Learn about the Jesuit missions in Paraguay, the political structure of the Italian city states, the thought of Sir Thomas More, the writings of R.J. Rushdoony, the thought of Orestes Brownson, the monastical foundations of SS. Benedict and Columba, the legal theorists of the medieval Byzantine Empire, the Hanseatic and Schmalkaldic Leagues, the Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, the new German economy of Wilhelm Roepke, the social institutions of the Maryland colony, etc.

Religious thinkers, and religious thinkers practically alone, were the champions of liberty from the time of Samuel down to this day.

Socialism was an invention of godless men who rejected the concept of a perfect heavenly society and set out to create an earthly version. Who were the prominent socialists? Lenin, Trotsky, Mao, Stalin, Fourier, Bakunin, Kun, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, Guevara, Marx, Engels, Luxemburg, Gramsci, Keynes, Hitler, Mussolini? Atheists all, not a believer among them.
