Religious Belief and Voting

Re: Analysis of twelve major political religious voting blocs in America

The above article describes "the Twelve Tribes of American Politics." It has a lot of interesting conjectures and statistics.

The Religious Left, at 12.6% of the population, is equal in size to the much-maligned Religious Right. This begs the question of why one never hears of the former in the media, which is full of horror stories about the latter.

Catholics are not a bloc but are divided among three groups: Heartland Culture Warriors, Convertible Catholics, and the Religious Left. (Nota bene: Conservative Catholics are correctly not grouped with the Religious Right.)

I guess this blogger would be a Heartland Culture Warrior, but not exactly.
