[lbo-talk] Spirituality Up, Religion Down in America

[Chuck Grimes]

These survey results are simply nonsense. The terminology is
misleading. Between 35% and 45% of Americans identify as Christian
evangelicals or "born again," with multiple surveys falling onto that
range, and most showing an small but significant increase over the
past 20 years. Chip Berlet

The arguments that the religious right are some kind of growing movement 
are nonsense... Chuck0

Well, that's just great. So which is it? 

I am afraid I tend toward believing that they are a significant
minority something in the 20-30% range and not an insignificant
miniority in the 7-10% range.

The cover that they are over represented in the press is one thing,
but it doesn't really explain the votes or the constant political
pressure to the right. On just about every issue there are enough of
them to swing the political spectrum.
