    How are these people calling themselves Christians?

    Where did they call themselves Christians?

    IMO, it takes a special type of double-think to believe that what ICE is doing is loving our neighbors. I sincerely hope they are not actually Christian.

      Maybe not these people specifically, but most of the GOP base identifies as Christian.

        Most may be stretching it:

          66% is most.

            A lot of those areas are under 60%. If you exclude the two top categories (evangelical Protestant and Mormon), it’s much closer to 50/50.

            The real problem IMO is the evangelicals Protestants. Those are much more based around influential individuals (megachurches/TV preachers) rather than community or religious tenants.

              The infographic makes no claim about the size of each group, just the left/right split within each group. You cannot draw such a conclusion from that data alone. This is a common misunderstanding in statistics when dealing with conditional probability.

              Here is an infographic showing the inverse, religious affiliation given party affiliation.

              This indicates both parties are majority Christian, the Republican party overwhelmingly so.

                Thanks, that is a much better infographic.

                Any idea why Jewish people are more predominantly Democrat than Republican?

          I would say that’s most.

      Self-proclaimed religiousness is one of the main things for conservatives no?
