    Religious people might be polite, might even do good things, but they vote for people who do terrible things. Ideally, the whole thing would be done away with. Convincing people to reject facts and vote their feelings is never a gpod combo.

    If religious people recused themselves from voting, I wouldn’t care much. But they’re dragging our country down. They’re gullible tools of awful rich men. They fight any forms of progress.

    And yeah yeah you’re about to tell me about your aunt Maple who isn’t like that, she’s really lovely and doesn’t preach at you and just likes going to church for the social element. But who does she vote for??

      Being religious doesn’t mean you vote for Trump. Thinking that way just encourages them.

      Plenty of religious people actually vote for the person more likely to feed the hungry, liberate the captive, take care of the earth, etc. You know, the way the Bible teaches.

          Only if your view of “religious” is limited to white Evangelical Protestants.

          But most people have a broader worldview than that.

            White evangelical Protestants are an extremely numerous and extremely politically active denomination in the US. If they’re not a majority of religious people, they’re at least a plurality.
