The Striking Correlation Between a State’s Religion and Its Politics
Dan Gilgoff, God & Country
How much are the identities of the nation's different regions determined by their particular religious composition? Quite a lot, according to an intriguing set of faith-based U.S. maps released by Gallup today.
Compare these two maps that show states where Protestants and other non-Catholic Christians live and states where more Catholics tend to reside. The correlation between Protestants and red states and Catholics and blue states is striking:

Religion
Religion should not be a factor for senseless fighting. I personally belong to all accepted religion as I say in my book "Why I live". God is one. He is for the health of mankind in every possible way.
Sensible People
I just read the post about how "sensible" people end unwanted conceptions. Does eliminating unwanted babies sound sensible? I can tell you for certain that truly sensible people assuredly do not kill their own children while they are in the womb. If everyone were that "sensible," the entire human race would be wiped out in one generation.
Here is the kind of thinking that such "sense" would lead to: Why should anyone want to conceive and bring a life into the world that might believe there is a God and might want to honor God by paying tithing? Away with such a notion! Let's be "sensible" and kill the kids before they have a chance to displease us with their gratitude to God when we want them to be just as selfish and unethical as we are.
Sure. That's really sensible, isn't it?
