The articles title is misleading, as he goes a little deeper within the text. The question that best predicts a person’s politics today is not about income or education. It’s religion: How often do you go to church? Regular churchgoers — including fundamentalist Protestants, observant Catholics, even many Orthodox Jews — vote Republican. Voters who rarely or never go to church vote Democratic. Democrats draw strong support from the unchurched: The steadily increasing minority of Americans — now about 20 percent — who are unaffiliated with any organized religion. They’re the people who, when asked if they are Protestant, Catholic or Jewish, say I’m nothing. Democrats dare not claim them, however, because they would run the risk of being labeled “the godless party. (Because the non-religious - particularly atheists - are the most reviled, least trusted, and least electable population in the nation.)
