Oh, I know you don't think so. But that's because you've got some kind of notion that all Christians, and apparently Jews, etc, etc, think alike. That's your mistake.

From this site
Quote:
76.5% of American adults are Christian (52% Protestant; 24.5% Catholic).
14.1% do not follow any organized religion; they are Agnostics, Atheists, Humanists, Secularists, or have no religious affiliation.
1.3% are Jewish.
0.5% are Muslim, followers of Islam.
0.5% are Buddhist.
0.4% are Hindu.
0.3% are Unitarian Universalist.
0.1% are Neopagan (Druids, Pagans, Wiccans, etc)
There are many more small religions, each of whom are followed by fewer than 0.1% of American adults.
But ABC news says, "Generally, 59 percent say abortion should be legal in all or most cases,"

And the S.F.Chronicle reports a March 8-12, Pew national survey;
Quote:
51 percent opposed same-sex marriage and 39 percent supported it.
Allowing gay and lesbian couples to adopt children -- 46 percent in favor, 48 percent opposed.
None of those numbers jibe with any religion. Must be people deciding on other than strictly religious grounds because I don't see any correlation. Do you?
