Fri Nov 20 2009McCain has never been a darling of the fundamentalist crowd, nor has he ever put his religion on his sleeve. Bush was definitely closer to them. I consider this a non-factor either way.

Fri Nov 20 2009The only thing that I know is McCain claimed no Christianity at all, yet is Republican. Obama, on the other hand, has claimed Christianity. Now I am not saying one way or the other whether Obama is a Christian or not, because I really don't know. I am not his judge, and neither is anyone else. So the Christian voters really didn't have much to go on. I myself have said this before, but I voted for neither candidate.

Mon Feb 23 2009As a Christian I must say I am pro-life. But Christans who stand outside of abortion clinics yelling at people getting abortions and saying things such as "You are going to hell" is a disgrace because that is not how you are to treat people. Christians as myself sin like everyone else so they have no right to hate someone for having an abortion. Hate the sin not the sinner cause your one to. Whether they play'd a big role in the election I am unsure of. Probably not so 3 stars.

Mon Feb 16 2009If my daughter ever held up a sign like that, she would never be able to sit down again. I hate people that hate America, regardless of their religion, creed, or color.

Thu Jan 15 2009I know alot of people on RIA associate them as fanatics, or whacos. Truth is most of us are normal decent people, who just have good morals.

Fri Jan 02 2009Ya I think a lot of them started voting with the rest of the people instead of voting on what they were born and raised knowing to be right.

Mon Nov 10 2008Honestly, I don't know how much of an impact Christian Slater had on this election.

Sun Nov 09 2008This is an untold story. Obama actually did very well with evangelicals, much better than Kerry.

Wed Nov 05 2008It all depends on one's definition of Christian.If we include all voters who identify as Christian, I suspect Obama got a majority.

Wed Nov 05 200880 million confessed Christians should have sent a strong message to America: we do not want a President who supports abortion, gay rights, sex education even to kindergarten kids, intrussion of government in the matters of faith, etc. But I guess Christians were more concerned with an economy, that sooner or later would recover, than the loss of millions of unborn children which could never be recovered. Mamon has won. Update: I strongly resent the image that accompanies this topic. God doesn't hate America.

Wed Nov 05 2008Less of a factor than I thought they would be, and what's particularly surprising is that Obama took some states in which there's a lot of them.

Wed Nov 05 2008I am aware that deeply christian voters have in the past. i do not decide whether a candidate is deeply religious the number one factor if i vote for them. I look at most of the other issues, like their stand on health care, abortion, immigration, taxes, should we be in war or not, etc. asking how religious they are is not a big factor to me. i do know people such as my brother in law who determines how Christian a candidate is before he would consider voting for them. Not me.too many other issues I am more interested in.

Wed Nov 05 2008My parents are southern white Christians (for many of you here- the trifecta of evil) and they voted for Obama. This whole "religious right" thing was BS to start with. Obama's victory, at least in part, proves it.

Wed Nov 05 2008Haven't seen the hard facts on which way every voting bloc swung, but I would bet this was a factor asmuch as anything else.

Wed Nov 05 2008I think religious folk are gonna break slightly one way, but I wouldn't call them a game changer in this outcome. They could have been, though...

Tue Nov 04 2008The phone rang and I was waken up to the news that I already knew concerning an election that was already over. Considering this list- the krischun voters obviously voted for the guy who some repubs thought was really a Muslim!
