Maybe 30% of the working class holds the conservative Christian views 
you describe above.  Why on earth should that minority be treated as the 
exemplar of the working class?  Jim, you need to get out more.  Reading 
your posts with these stereotypes about the working class is almost as 
painful as watching a minstrel show.
