[quote=Anonymous]From my observation, here is how it seems various religious people in America vote. By no means is this applicable to every person, only generally, and some can be in more than one category. I am sure on the internet somewhere, someone has done a more thorough analysis.

[u]Republicans[/u]
Believe abortion and homosexuality are sinful and immoral. Support tradtional family values. Humans are not causing Climate Change. Humans did not evolve from lower primates but were created by God, both male and female (because you cannot have a male evolve then a million years later a female--no mating could occur). Trans-women are not women; trans-men are not men.

By the way, this is why I vote Republican, even if the presidential candidate is severely flawed. I vote for the party platform as a whole, not for individuals per se, because the party will place judges and leaders who will follow this platform moreso than Democrats who are (in my eyes) the party of Sodom and Gomorrah.

[b]Fundamentalist Christians[/b]

Born-again, bible-believing, true believers. The bible is the ultimate authority on faith, morals, and human origins. Many do not want to see a union of church and state given the  example of Islamic states, and the Medieval Catholic church which murdered millions of fundamentalist Christians through its political apparatus.

When religion becomes a criteria for office, you get ambitious, egotists using religion as a cloak to get elected rather than God-fearing, righteous individuals.

Some examples: Ken Ham, Voddie Baucham, Gino Jennings, John MacArthur

[b]Evangelical Christians[/b]

Similar to Fundamentalists but want the government to back their religion as a weapon against political enemies and unbelievers. They are often ignorant of history and generally ignorant concerning the bible, followers more of church leaders than Jesus Christ.

They are usually good people who mean well, salt-o'-the-earth types, but their zeal is misplaced, operationg from the flesh instead of the spirit of God in many cases.

Main examples: Jerry Falwell, T.D. Jakes, Paula White, Joel Osteen.

[b]Mormons[/b]

Almost identical to Evangelicals except their Jesus is the brother of Satan, and Joseph Smith's bible their holy text. Mormons are honest, hard-working people but don't see that they have fallen for "another gospel", cannot see the religous fraud Joseph Smith perpretrated. The only reason Joseph Smith wrote his book in King James English (not his native language) is so that people would equate his book with the Bible so as to better perpretrate his fraudulent religion, the goal of which was to indulge his fantasy of having multiple wives.

[b]Evangelical Catholics[/b]

Similar to Evangelicals and some Fundamentalists but Catholic Tradition and its Catechism is given more weight than scripture. The Pope is ruler of the universe. They attend Mass regularly.

Some  examples: Bishop Sheen, Bishop Sarah, Fr. Burbidge, the Bishop of Arlington.

[b]Conservative or Masorti Jews[/b]

Similar to Fundamentalist Christians but exclude Jesus and the New Testament.

22% of Jews voted for Trump.

Some examples: Rabbi Zecharias Frankel, Rabbi J.B. Sacks

[u]Democrats[/u]

Believe abortion and homosexuality are normal and acceptable, not sinful. Morality is relative, and values should evolve relative to our modern times.
Humans are causing Climate Change and if we do not do something soon, a catastrophe will occur. Humans evolved over millions of years from the lower primates according to Science, which in all cases is to be believed over the Bible. Trans-women are women; trans-men are men.

[b]Atheists, Agnostics[/b]

Included here becasue they are religous-like in their belief that there is no evidence for God, and they vote overwhelmingly Democrat.

Main examples: Peter Hitchins, Carl Sagan, P.Z. Myers

[b]Rainbow Flag churches[/b]

The Bible is just a bunch of metaphors and  myths, not the word of God. If you feel you are a good person then you are good; God will bring you to heaven because your intentions are what counts, not your belief in Jesus or obeying commandments.  The only sin is not being tolerant of others, unless they are Fundamentalist Christians then it is okay to discriminate and exclude them from all areas of public life.

Main examples: Paul Abels, John Neil Alexander, Eva Brunne

[b]Liberal/Progressive Catholics[/b]

Also called "Cafeteria Catholics" or Catholic-In-Name-Only (CINO). Similar to the Rainbow Flag churces but remain Catholic usually for family reasons. They hope one day to overthrow its traditons of male-only priests and restrictions on abortion, homosexuality, and birth control. They rarely attend mass except for weddings, funerals, Christmas, and Easter. They identify more with Agnostics than Fundamentalist Christians.

Main Examples: Joe Biden, Pope Francis

[b]Secular Jews[/b]

Summarized: very much like Cafeteria Catholics. Mammon is their true God. These Jews can best be described as, "Atheists fanatically loyal to a religious family tradition."  They are found to be the movers and shakers of Marxism.

78% of Jews voted for Kamala Harris.

Examples: Ahad Ha'am, Bernie Sanders

Well, that is how I see it. I am no theologian, not saying this is 100% accurate (especially concerning Catholics and Jews) and again, not saying it applies to everyone.

For the record, I am a Fundamentalist Christian. I vote Republican in presidential elections but I do not vote in every local election that comes around. I see a presidential election like the Super Bowl: I pull for a team and if they win, "Yay!" but if they lose "Aw shucks, maybe next time."  God gives people the leader they deserve.
