c) they ignore religiosity as opposed to mere denominational inclusion. My wife's a catholic. Hasn't been to mass in decades, knows far less of the catechism than I do, couldn't explain the difference between a bull and an encyclical to save her life, couldn't even tell you what the local Bishop's name is. As far as faith goes she seems to cling to some vague hopeful deism more out of tradition and apathy for the subject than genuine spiritual searching. But she'd answer "Catholic" to demographic screening as above.
What do YOU think of data that shows even more bias towards conservatism among those to whom religion is very important and who attend church regularly? Strange that ligeral believers here never want to address that other than pretend they are not real Christians.
