Not really, there is a very big difference between the "occasional" Christian and the 7 day a week Born Again Evangelical Christian. Also, there is a difference between the "occasional" Roman Catholic and the 7 day a week Roman Catholic. The more religious the lower the % of liberals.
A great stat from Alex Murphy's post. I believe this is what Ralph Reed is talking about.
73% McCain, 26% Obama - Evangelical/Born-again Protestant14
When we look at 44% of the GOP voters being Evangelical Christians we should be encouraged.
I believe it's the religiosity that is the key. It's more pronounced for Evangelical Christians, but we see the same trend among the Roman Catholics.

If you’re counting just North’s bunch, then there’s more.
There’s a large and growing bunch in the DC area that are much more dangerous because so many judges and elected officials are among them, named Opus Dei.
I hadn't even thought about it that way because the article was about conservative Evangelical Christians. The left is terrified of us. I don't think they worry about the RCC because it preaches social justice and believes in hierarchical power structures not decentralized independent organizations.
Funny thing is, there’s only about 10,000 Dominionists in the country - and they’re only known at all because Gary North is, unfortunately, such a prolific writer and spreads his ecclesiological and eschatological heresies far and wide.
It's not "Scary Gary" North that I'm worried about, it's the pentcostalist dominionists.
Historically: Protestants Republican, Catholics Democrat.
Protestants voted Democrat in 1932, 1936, and 1964, that is it.
