Drop in Church Attendance Bad News for Tea Party Faithful

[drakonyx]

Literalist Christians who believe their way is the only way stand at the core of the Dominionist and tea party movements. If fewer people who believe this way are attending church, that spells a whole lot of trouble for the causes they represent.

1. Interesting. Less educated people are dropping out of church?

Here I've been told that colleges and such are librul breeding grounds.

Another right-wing talking point dismantled.

2. Try a Google News search on Bradford Wilcox

He's the researcher who did the study cited in The Provocation's post: http://news.google.com/news/more?hl=en&gl=us&q=bradford+wilcox&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ncl=dIliL4cW0zY-hgMxnVXSD-44MNORM&ei=mOFSTquIIOSpsALjoOGHBw&sa=X&oi=news_result&ct=more-results&resnum=3&ved=0CFkQqgIwAg

4. Not really:

The Dominionists spent years getting their "flock of faithful" up through State apparatii into school board positions and judgeships. Dominionists are currently Governors in at least 10 populous states. A couple of Dominionists also currently sit on the SCOTUS. Numerous Dominionists are Senators and live in the C Street "Frathouse for Jesus" that is located right behind the White House. Several former Vice Presidents are Dominionists. Also, we have a few Dominionists running for the GOP in 2012. Plus, the Dominionists run the yearly "Presidential Prayer Breakfast," and are affiliated with "The Family" in Uganda, where they've co-authored the "Kill The Gays" Bill. Dominionists have infiltrated the Air Force. And the United States' WW3 in the Middle East has strong RW religious overtures.
