In a Gallup Poll in 2011 85% of liberals said they believe in God. I think what you will find is that not very many liberals whether they believe in God or not think that Christianity should become the 'official religion' of the United States.

But maybe nuanced arguments elude you..
I'm not catching that according to this statistic:

More Than 9 in 10 Americans Continue to Believe in God

Just can't bring themselves to admit it.
What kind of stupidly idiotic statement is that. Aside from the known posting conservatives on this message board known political conservatives all over the country have called this incident a racist motivated mass killing based on what is now known.

lol. Wow, you can feel the love in this thread.

Given how darned tribal people tend to be, what possible advantage is there to having (and introducing even more) 'diversity' to a country?

Your link uses the same data, the 2011 Gallup Poll, that I linked. What is it you aren't 'catching'?

Default Why do people always try to make political points out of tragedies?

Conservatives wasted no time in explaining how gun control would not have prevented this.

Liberals wasted no time in expressing their hatred of white people and how ashamed they should be.

I wish we could just call evil, evil, and disown it regardless of the form it comes in.

Fair enough. However, they are still the ones least likely to believe in a God though as concluded, and it may make sense if you are like me living in the East.

The more we learn about Roof, the more he looks like the bottom rung of our culture and civilization. On the other hand, the information we are getting concerning the pastor he murdered, he looks to have been a beautiful human being. Why is it that so often, the worst scum of humanity, are the ones who snuff out the best of us?

Liberals expressing "hatred of white people"? You say that in response to a massive hate-crime by a white dude?

There is another forum on the internet made just for people with the same philosophy as you, but you probably know about it already

LEAST LIKELY??? 85% is not hardly a figure you would want to use to prove your case that liberals hate God
