America has religions other than Evangelical Christian

[jenk]

In the "Did evangelicals go for Obama or did it not matter that they went for McCain?" discussion comes this nugget...

Overall, the religious vote for Obama did not reflect a massive shift in ideology and priorities among evangelicals but rather muscle-flexing by a coalition of others of faith--including and especially African-American churchgoers and Latinos who tend to be both more religious and more socially conservative than the population at large. The pro-Obama faithful represent a wild diversity of the American religious experience, including mainline Protestants, church-shoppers, the curious, the spiritual but not religious, the heterodox (those who subscribe to several traditions), the intermarried, the community-minded, the intellectually provoked but skeptical, and the traditionalists. Indeed, it includes almost every committed person of faith except those whose church culture insists on a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Yes, for the non-evangelicals out there, that latter is one of the differences between evangelicals and other Christians. (And unlike what I was taught as a child, no, it's not that other Christians don't pray. ;)

On a related note, Washington's voter turnout is expected to be almost 85%.
