This is the real "silent majority". Most people who would call themselves religious in America aren't evangelical right-wingers. And most, while considering themselves Pro-Life, do not consider abortion the sole or primary issue in voting. But right wing evangelicals and more vocal pro-lifers tend to be more active politically and get far more press as a result. I think that really skews our impression of what a religious person is in the U.S.
