Lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender adults are, on the whole, less religious than the general public. About half (48%) say they have no religious affiliation, compared with 20% in the general public; this pattern holds among all age groups. LGBT adults who do have a religious affiliation generally attend worship services less frequently and attach less importance to religion in their lives than do religiously affiliated adults in the general public.
Also, a third (33%) of religiously affiliated LGBT adults say there is a conflict between their religious beliefs and their sexual orientation or gender identity.
That sentiment is even more prevalent among the general public. About three-quarters of white evangelical Protestants (74%) and a majority of all U.S. adults with a religious affiliation (55%) say homosexuality conflicts with their religious beliefs. Among all adults in the general public, there is a strong correlation between the frequency of church attendance and the belief that homosexuality should be discouraged.
Your thread could read: Half of all homosexuals are Christians.
Um the other half aren't Christian. The other half goes to Church less than heterosexuals and are more likely to say religion is not important to them. So I appear to be correct in concluding homosexuals are without God.
Despite the OP's best efforts to portray LGBTs as evil amoral monsters, we're really not that different from anyone else. And that's what the anti-gays find so utterly terrifying.
Well imagine that. I'm shocked................not. Perhaps you can supply a link to show that homosexuals wish the rest of the population to abandon their belief in a deity? Or are you just making c**p up again?
When you are continually told by a group of folks that you are an abomination, you are going to hell and unworthy of the same love God gives you, of course you are going to leave the group that piles this on you.
It has only been recently that denominations will accept GLBT persons as equal, even then most do not. Thank MCC for starting the ball rolling. Now if the other whack-jobs fundies could actually read the bible in context, understand what the words meant (hint not homosexual as we think today), then maybe they would be more welcoming and GLBT persons will return to church.
Why would people want to affiliate with a religion when its members call them abominations?
