In NH, frequent worshipers favor McCain

I find this kinda funny, what is the median age here? I'd be willing to bet its an older crowd! In fact, the age probably goes from the top down-oldest to youngest.

Hmmm...maybe those who don't attend church have more independent thought vs those who attend church. Those who attend church are more likely to follow what their pastor says....and right now 3 out of 4 pastors agree the Democratic Party is the party of death!!!
Maybe if those who attended church regularly had a free thought (oh, wait, that goes against everything the church wants), the numbers would be different...

Thank God nobody goes to church anymore

Ah, yes, those liberal secular free thinkers ... you know, that herd of independent minds who all believe THE EXACT SAME THINGS!!!! Yup, those are the folks who think for themselves, all right, unlike those benighted church-going lemmings. It's just more laughable claptrap from the left -- and there seems to be an inexhaustible supply of it.

Yeah like this is a surprise... Which way are all the white church go'ers from NH gonna vote????? Good article, lets waste some more ink.

And Thinking Christian.... I think on my own thank you very much. Don't tell me what I think. What I do think is this.... the Bible is a good story, THAT'S IT!!!!! I have the sensibility to distinguish fact from fiction. Something a large amount of your fellow church go'ers seem to struggle with.

Now I know you want jump all over me for calling all church go'ers dumb. I'm not. My mother goes every sunday and I consider her my Hero. What I'm saying is that the perception of what is reality (life, death and taxes) seem to contrast with their belief in their religion. Belief is exactly that, BELIEF! So stop treating it like it's fact!!!!

And I'll end it with this... I'm voting based on what I know. Not on what I hope or what I've been told.

Um, I'm a 31-year-old, white, churchgoing, Catholic woman living in NH with husband and kids, and I'm voting for Obama. Please don't generalize.

I go to Quaker meeting every month.

Everyone I know in the Quaker meeting will be voting for Obama.

I don't know anyone in the Quaker meeting who will be voting for Mccain.

So, as far as I am concerned, frequent church goers are voting 100 percent for Obama

Time for some Unitarian, Congregational, Episcopalian, Jewish and Quaker missionaries to get to work. What, you say, those churches and synagogues don't have missionaries? Perhaps it is time to rethink that.

Believing Christian, you stole the words out of my mouth (typing fingers.) Bones' non-answer to your point crystallizes the so-called free-thinkers who don't realize that they, too, get their opinions from somewhere, typically the NYTimes, or, er, the Boston Globe. They only THINK that they are independent, because they get that little kid/adolescent rush from giving daddy and mommy the finger behind their back.

Of course, all religions are a form of tradition. In the case of Christianity, faith is handed down, traditioned, from Jesus to the apostles to us. The left thinks their ideas just pop into their heads, immaculately conceived. They laugh at hierarchy, but have their own, Marx, Darwin, Freud, Nietzsche, etc. and therefore their 'faith' has been handed down to them, too. And before any of these uneducated punks can proudly retort "but i've never read these authors," one of the best books i ever read, and would urge them to read too, if they could read anything other than nintendo words, was "The Closing of the American Mind" by Allan Bloom, which shows that late 20th century liberal thought is just watered down atheist european philosophy, about 50-100 years behind them, not in-dependent, but dependent on them, whether the current lib american recognizes or admits this influence or not.

Cleara, i feel sorry for you, worshipping only with Obama voters. So closed minded, so elitist, so out of touch with middle america. Why, i'll bet you've never been in a Walmart--too gauche, too downscale. sounds like the Politburo.

We are now in, not the modern, but the post-modern era, when we take the valid insights of the so-called enlightenment, democracy, bridled technology, human rights (which are actually based on the Judaeo-Christian doctrine of humans created in God's image), and blend them into traditional, religious life. Agnosticism was just a brief blip in european-coastal USA intellectual history, and is now the way of the past. Progressives, you married the present in the post-60's, and now you are a widow (er.)

Face it, the demoncratic party is the atheist/agnostic/secularist party, as this and all other surveys show. Religion is inherently conservative, in that it seeks to conserve all the good things of the past, such as religion, nuclear family, patriotism, while blending in some of the few good things of recent times, like the civil rights of blacks, women, much but not all contemporary medicine, etc. Only liberals are haughty and adolescent enough to think that we are superior to Plato, Aristotle, Moses, Jesus etc.We have a lot of information, but no wisdom.

The founders of the dhimmicratic party were Tom Jefferson, the slave owning fan of the guillotine in the french revolution, who was so snobbish that he thought he knew more than God, so he cut up his Bible to fit his dainty preferences, and Andrew Jackson, major league Native American slaughterer. How progressive, advanced, and enlgihtened of them!
