Wrong again. You need to be more circumspect in your definition of Catholic. The statistics showing 54% of Catholics voted for Obama are based on asking voters their religious preference. If you took the effort to see what percent of practicing Catholics voted for Obama, a far more defining statistic, the percent falls to below 35%. The secular humanistic agnostic press loves to state there are 67 million Catholics but in essence only about 10 million are observant and this is a far more accurate figure.
Mainline Protestantism has sadly become spiritually bankrupt evidence the recent pronouncements of its high priestess Kathy Schori, and such notables as Rowan Williams, Vickey Jean, and of course Mary Glasspool the latest lesbian addition to the Episcopal lineup of all stars sinners. The Evangelical arm of Lutheranism has all but abandoned Christian principles and is obsequious to the needs of the Democratic party. Pray tell what sector of Mainline Protestantism can legitimately call itself Christian? Mainline Protestants voting for conservatives are the ones whose vested economic interests demand they do so.

You can prattle all you want, but Mainline Protestants vote Republican and Catholics rarely do.

Mainline Protestants did not vote for Obama, the Catholics did.

I am more interested in how religious groups vote than their internal theology, when it comes to politics.
