Christian Political Revival in America
Timothy Birdnow
In today's feel good story, Rachel Alexander tells us that all Christian denominations are moving to the Right and increasingly becoming Republican.
From Intellectual Conservative:
This should come as no surprise; the mask is off modern Liberalism, and the naked skull of totalitarianism has become visible. Democrats no longer pretend to be mainstream, racing each-other to adopt socialism/communism and rejecting mainstream Americans as deplorables. No rational Christian can pretend that these people are on the side of Christ any longer. For a long time many Christians were deceived by that lie. But it is becoming increasingly clear that Progressivism is the enemy of God and Man.
I wonder if this awakening is not too little too late.

From Intellectual Conservative:
That’s from a study by political scientist Ryan Burge of East Illinois University. He analyzed the Cooperative Congressional Election Study from 2008 and 2018. It surveyed members of 34 religions — mostly Christian — on their political preferences. Of those surveyed, 27 became more Republican over the 10-year span. Only seven became more Democratic. And four of those seven still score as clearly Republican.
Assemblies of God became the most Republican, although they already leaned Republican. Nondenominational fundamentalists became less Republican, but are still the second most Republican tradition. The Mormons moved the farthest towards the Democrats of any tradition, but still lean clearly Republican. The traditions that moved farthest right were the other Lutheran churches (those outside the mainline church), other Pentecostal churches (outside the Assemblies of God), the independent Baptists, and the Eastern Orthodox.
A few churches even shifted their allegiance. Roman Catholics, Orthodox, other Lutherans, and the General Association of Regular Baptists switched from leaning Democrat to leaning Republican. Several denominations that leaned Democrat became less Democratic. They include the Episcopal Church and the United Church of Christ.
The survey also included Jews, agnostics, and Buddhists. All became less Democratic. Those whom "identify as nothing in particular†(Burge’s term) drifted to the right, though remained on the Democratic side. The National Baptist Convention, an historically black church and the most solidly Democrat denomination, became less Democratic. On the other hand, atheists moved strongly left.
