    The article does a nice job of breaking out who votes how and kind of helps you say “I see” as to why the results are skewed the way they are. We all know why: religion, with a sprinkling of old. So I don’t necessarily doubt these results. America is the land of religion, and not just white evangelicals. Black religious folks absolutely don’t like homosexuality. Muslims don’t. Hispanic Catholics are very puritan. Jews are generally okay about this stuff.

    But the common thread tends to be religion, and we have a lot of places of worship here. When you think about wealthy first world countries, America sits up high when it comes to religion, and how many people are religious. And while we’ve seen a decline, it’s still a big population.

    EDIT: I would also be curious to see who said porn is morally wrong, and still viewed it anyway. I think religion comes with this crazy amount of hipocracy, and not just hipocracy but this sort of uncertainty, and it’s that whole fear of God thing.
