So basically, the more liberal the state, the more Catholics there are. That speaks volumes.

It do seem that way, do it not?

If you want to pretend that heavily Catholic Arizona, Texas, Nebraska, etc., are "liberal" states, sure. Seems to me those southwest states and great plains are often more conservative than the bible belt in dixie. >>

West Virginia is United Methodist? No wonder they always vote so liberal. <<

Ah, West Virgina, another state that has one of the least Catholic presence in the U.S. I believe Catholics there are 4% of the population, and last time I checked, Methodists one of the more popular protestant denominations in the U.S. George W. Bush is United Methodist.

I agree they are pretty liberal as a whole though. One time I went to a Methodist church for Ash Weds. They had a big sign out from noting how they welcome people of all "sexual orientations" (pedophiles and polygamists are welcome?). The minister who gave the Ash Weds. ceremony was a female "reverend" who seemed to be her in mid 30s, dressed in plain clothes. I found it rather strange.

With the exception of the southern baptist convention, seems to me the protestant churches with the largest memberships in the U.S. are much more liberal than the Catholic church.
