Evangelicals back Trump; atheists support Hillary

hillary-on-fire

WT: A new survey shows evangelicals and atheists are sharply divided over which presidential candidate to support in 2016.

The Pew Research Center study released Wednesday finds nearly four out of five white evangelicals back Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, while two-thirds of atheists or agnostics plan to support Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee. Each constituency makes up about one-fifth of registered voters.

Ken Blackwell, a senior fellow at the Family Research Council, said the data suggest the political parties are becoming increasingly polarized on religious grounds. He attributed the phenomenon to the Obama administration’s effort to drive faith from the public square, drawing a backlash from evangelicals with a broader view of what religious liberty entails.

“I think without question the Obama administration has been very aggressive in trying to relegate the practice of religion to the four corners of houses of worship,” Mr. Blackwell said. “Therefore, the resistance to that sort of narrowing of the concept of religious freedom has grown more intense on the other side.”  more here

  1. Most atheists I know are far too questioning to ever swallow Hillary’s highfalutin balderdash*.

    But there is this one yellow-dog Democrat…

    🙂

    (* – Hey, I don’t get to use those terms that often. Bear with me on this.)

  2. Christian Democrat is an oxymoron. They are incompatible. It’s like a Jewish Nazi or a bacon-loving vegan.

    Democrat party planks are evil. They tirelessly defend murder by abortion (it is a scientific fact that a new innocent human life begins at conception), they celebrate sexual perversity like homosexuality, and they want to use the government to steal from industrious people to give to parasites for their votes.

    You CANNOT be an unrepetant Christian and a Democrat at the same time. God will judge you harshly for your open rebellion and hostility to His laws and commandments.
