discrimination of atheists

[kandrathe]

80% say they're Christian, 40-50% are regular church attendees... maybe this seems low if your benchmark for a "Christian society" is more like 100%/80%. But if you're not Christian, it does still seem like there is one religious group overwhelmingly larger and more influential than the others.

Or, put another way, if those Church attendees ever all voted together, they'd never lose another US election. It's never that simple in practice, but it still moves the needle on policy by a lot

The big separation philosophically, and somewhat politically is that the "Active" column is most likely evangelicals, and the "Litergical" is code for Catholics. If the evangelical WASPs ever could bring themselves to align with the growing dominance of Hispanic Catholics, then they'd have political clout. Hence, why Romney and the R's botched it with the hard line stance on immigration before the election.

But, I agree that the US is still more religiously oriented than other western nations.
