Begin a consideration with this fact: Al Gore received the most popular votes for president of the United States in 2000. There were no Christians, no Protestants, no citizens who could be said "highly religous" voting for the most popular candidate? Absurb. This report is based on an assumption of, "One of the keys to Republican success" So - yes - Republican candidates were supported by people involved with churches/religion. But so were Democratic candidates supported by people involved with churches/religion. The report of course has to be with "highly religious Americans" and their views on whether it is necessary to "change society." What does "change society" mean? Did respondents understand this phrase? This report is not valuable and not well-founded.
