I know I'm pretty liberal, but some of this is kinda ridiculous.
First there is not a single Dem or Rep that I'm aware of that is not religious, or does not believe in God. 2nd it's all political. Meaning no politician would be elected saying they aren't religious or don't believe in god. Both parties have to pander to the religious. Here's the rub, most in this country aren't deeply religious, most even if they are religious find it to more of a personal thing, something that the government has no control of.
Here is how I think most view the Reps and Dems.
Reps: I'm uber Christian and plan to legislate that way.
Dems: Yea I'm Christian (or Jewish), but it's no big deal. That's my thing not yours, but we're going to make sure everyone is treated the same.
