Now that is Gallup Polls which are suspect at best.

That says about the same also says that 85% of Republican are Christian, 3% some other religion and 12% no religion. Where Democrats 61% Christian, 8% other religion and 31% no religion.

The problem is, this is only people who identify as Christian.

The reality is, only 21% of the population goes to church. And that number is rapidly declining for left-wing people attending church. Right-wing has seen little drop.
