>Race/ethnicity, social-economic, age, marital status, geographic location, cultural influences.. all of these overwhelm church factors.<
Money, or the lack thereof, has a strong correlation the type of church one IDs with, and race/ethnicity in particular is primary factor in votes, and other things do as well, but the issue is that comparing Catholics and Evangelicals in each class then we almost always see more conservative views among the latter. Thank God it is not like France, but both are decreasing.
We’re either talking past each other or repeating ourselves.
If correlation is our sole guide, other factors than church/denomination are stronger; and,
Blacks alone would disprove the theory; and,
Correlation is still not causation.
