If all the new voters who have turned out for Sanders don't show up for the GE, HRC will have a repub congress. But then, maybe that's what dem leadership wants?

"...It is a part of our DNA" President Barack Obama (Charleston, South Carolina) "Obama returned repeatedly to the themes of race and religion." - http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-obama-charleston-funeral-20150626-story.html
Most offspring are indoctrinated and adopt the religion of their parents the world over... FACT. A former southern baptist wrote a book describing the similarities and differences of how religion affects the world's societies and it helps to understand why many good mannered people act as they do.

It's called... "The God Virus" by Dr Darrel W Ray and noted Christian author Frank Schaeffer...(Crazy for God) recommended folks consider its examples. You can read comments about the book here and judge for yourself > http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6115911-the-god-virus. From California's prop 8, DOMA, Hobby-Lobby, Cival right(s)... so on and so fourth. IMO... the republicans are simply more fundamentalist then the democrats but driven by the same core belief(s)... some good & some bad. It's something we'll have to live with for another 100 or so years, but history & statistics show, things can and do get better with time. As for America, separation of Church & State was damaged greatly starting in the mid 1930's and continues to pull strings in our government(s)... Local, State and most importantly Federal. What happened to... (Do onto others)?
