I was reading that in 2001 there were 159,000,000 christians in America. In 2004 it seems that there are 249,000,000 Christians in America. I did not realize this at all. I visited a few sources and they all said the same.
If this is the case then based on our values this should be a Landslide election for the republicans. Sad so sad that people dont look at it that way.

Barak Obama's wife spoke the other day and said that a Old lady came up to her and said "I never thought I would see the day" she then replied we are going to see that day. ummmm I thought it was not about race?
Why did they not support other Black people that ran for president that supported their morals? Oh yeah republicans.....

I may be wrong, but I believe about 80% of Americans identify as Christian. That means that would cover everything from nominal Christians, to practicing Christians from all different denominations and theological viewpoints. For all of them to vote Republican would be to assume 1) that Christians all share the same views and are a monolithic reliable voting bloc, and 2) that they would all agree that the Republican party platform perfectly reflects Christ's teachings and values. I think from seeing the reality of the Christian faith and its various forms and practices and the results from our elections that neither of those are true.

Oh I agree and that is kinda bothersome none the less. Yes it is about 80 percent.
