I guess since republicans do not believe in homosexual marriages and abortion most christians I know are republicans. But what about the seperation between church and state? I guess morals have a lot to do with who you will vote for, but shouldn't it be the right person for the job? A lot of christian republicans that I know don't believe in abortion and that is a big issue of why they voted for bush, but I haven't seen bush do anything about abortion. I don't know is it wrong to be a democrat christian? Isn't kerry a christian?

It depends on what kind of Christian.
Orthodox Christians and Catholics traditionally favor democrats slightly. Mainline protestants traditionally favor republicans slightly. Evangelican protestants favor republicans BY A LOT. Jews lean democratic. Muslims lean republican. Interestingly enough, Islam is the MOST Republican religion in America. Nearly 80% of Muslims voted for Bush in 2000. If you do not include African-Americans, then about 88% of Muslims voted for Bush in 2000. Currently, Bush is polling at 5-10% among Muslims, and is actually in third place, behind both Kerry and Badnarik. |
