Answer 2

I am a Christian AND a Democrat, though I have actually been told you can't be both. But yes, I think many Christians believe that they have to be Republican due to the morality that Republicans are always trying to legislate. Sincerely, I think it's the abortion issue that keeps all the Christians supporting people like Bush even though he is an awful president. Personally, I would vote for Bill Clinton over and over again,even though he will always be remembered by most Christians as the adulterer president. I vote for president, not for a religious leader.

Answer 3

This is just a really lazy generalization. There are so many different aspects to politics, and to say that all Christians are Republicans is so simplistic. Real Democrats, make up much less of the population than we are led to believe. If what the Democrats truly believe and espouse were known and understood and accurately reported, they would make up about 20% of the population. That's why they are such attack dogs - they have to keep harping about all the things that they are against, so they can obscure and confuse people about their true agenda - government control of everything, high taxes, government subsidies for anyone who wants them (as long as it fits the left wing agenda, etc.)

Answer 4

It seems obvious that serious Christians are more conservative and probably Republican rather than Democrat, as a general rule.

According to lover of truth, however, apparently we shouldn't even have any government anyway because God is going to destroy them when he sets up his kingdom on the earth. I wonder if he has a suggestion as to how people are supposed to operate in the meantime. Anarchy, anyone?

Answer 5

To an extent I think that is true but also consider the large southern, black, baptist voters. A lot of them are strong church-going folk (I don't know how many are true Christians) but they still are strongly democratic.

I think it comes down to the "type" of Christian a person is. Black Baptist churches probably have a lot of loving people in them who are very Christ-like but a lot of those people have also been brainwashed into believing that they need the democratic party to support them.

Other Christians are more in tune with moral considerations such as marriage, homosexuality, and pro-life considerations.

So it depends upon what a person's definition of Christian is and what their definition of government is.

Answer 6

No, both parties are overwhelmingly Christian by population. While the current power base makes non-Christians less likely to join the GOP, both parties (and, in fact, all of America) is stongly comprised of Christians, at least in name.

The Democratic party will have more non-Christians, as they have traditionally had stances more appealing to minorities, be they religious, racial, or whatever else. I tend to think though, that the largest proportion of non-Christians will be found among non-aligned parties and independants, more than in either party.

Answer 7

No because there are plenty of Christian democrats out there.

It's one thing for a political party to represent the views of a large portion of society: there are many many Christians in America and they certainly should be represented. What I object to is the way the Republicans pander to them and enlist Churches to represent THEM.

Answer 8

No. I know Christians with democratic beliefs and Pagans with republican beliefs. Ones religion does not determine what ones political beliefs are.

Answer 9

Not really. It is possible to be Christian and have Democratic morals. If there can be so many interpretations of the Bible out there for people, there can certainly be two political parties with substantial answers to our problems!

Answer 10

No.

I would say that Republicans are mainly conservative protestants.

I would say that:

Most Democrats are Christiians
Most Catholics are Democrats
Most agnostics are Democrats
Most atheists are Democrats

Answer 11

Christians should not vote for any human ruler. We must put our trust only in God's heavenly government which will soon rule over the entire earth with Jesus ruling as our King. Psalms 146:3 tells us: "Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help."
The New Living Translation renders that verse as "Don't put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there."
Soon God will destroy all human governments as foretold at Daniel 2:44, so trusting in them is a lost cause.
