The central delusion of the Christian right: Americans aren’t really churchgoers after all

11. Cbayer is capable of answering for herself, yes?

To quote directly from HER OP:

Yes, the majority of Americans identify technically as Christians, but a deeper look at how our people act, believe, and think shows that we’re not at all a “Christian nation,” but a largely secular nation that suffers a small but vocal minority of theocracy-minded conservatives.

As pointed out by myself and Muriel, this is bullshit. As shown by an entirely relevant comparison to nations that actually have a claim to being considered secular. And that "small but vocal minority" controls both houses of Congress, along with many state legislatures and governorships. Last I looked, every one of those nutballs got elected by getting more votes than their opponent. And that religious message seems to be playing pretty fucking well in places like Michigan, Wisconsin, Utah and Kansas, or hadn't you noticed? And Michelle Bachman? Let's not even go there.
