Saw some stats recently on belief in God numbers.

Basically the stats said that some 97% of Republicans believed is God and the Democrats polled a resounding 83% or some in that range.

Tells me that most atheists are indeed democrats.

False dichotomy fallacy. It is possible for someone to be neither Democrat nor Republican.

The Answer is no.

From AMERICAN RELIGIOUS IDENTIFICATION SURVEY 2001

People with No religion Identified themselves as Democrats 30% of the time which is actually less than Baptist (39%), Catholics (36%)and Methodist (32%)

The thing is only 17% people in the No religion class identify themselves as Republicans with 43% Indenpendents and 10% None which shows me that yes in fact the hard core fundementalist are chasing/turning off people from the Republican party
