The religious breakdown of Delaware is very interesting.

One-fifth of Delawareans are United Methodists, a socially very liberal and economically liberal church.

One-fifth of Delawareans belong to African-American Baptist congregations, socially conservative but economically liberally and a complete lock for the Democrats.

Just under one-fifth of Delawareans say they have no religion, a group which is probably quite diverse in its views but likely skews socially liberal and probably is very wary of God-talk.

About a tenth of Delawareans are Catholic. And another tenth are split between Lutherans, Presbyterians and Episcopals.

My guess is that a sizable number of Delaware's all-important independent voters fall into the "no religion" category.

Atheists are not "quite diverse", nor do they "likely" skew socially liberal.

Atheists, and those without religion are naturally, overwhelmingly liberal, and strongly, anti-conservative.
