What is interesting is that the most likely denomination to vote Democrat are mainline protestants.

Good point.

You'll find committed catholics and evangelicals on the same "right" side of all the key issues of the day, and you'll find secular catholics and "mainline" protestants on the wrong side of those very same issues.

That would tell me that, despite the noisy debates we get into here at FR, a committed believing catholic and a committed believing evangelical have much more in common with one another than either do with their secular barely-believing "co-religionists" lining up on the other side.

Yep, exactly. Politically, nothing changed when I converted. I still have much in common with my evangelical friends. Good folks, good people.

You are so correct. That is why I don't participate in these Catholic vs protestant debates. Being a Missour Synod Lutheran, I have far more in common with many Catholics than I do with those of the ELCA. They are apostates and so are Catholic priests who cling to a progressive agenda.

In protestantdom, those churches who are so-called "mainstream" belong to the wicked National Council of Churches.

They are not even churches at all. They belong to an extremely liberal wing of the Democrat party. There is nothing good about these "churches" and anyone still clinging to the hope of reforming them are deluding yourselves.
