If 45% attend at least once per week, I'll bet 40% are once a weekers and
5% are more.  Most churches don't even have services more than once a
week.  What makes Wallis's figure bogus is that it's only for the "mores"
-- a very small group of the fanatically religious.

Frankly I find it a pleasant surprise that 37% of fanatical Christians
vote Democratic.  The Jews, by contrast, who are famously a house divided,
only vote 20% Republican.
