When Americans are asked to check a box indicating their religious affiliation, 28% now check ‘none.’
A new study from Pew Research finds that the religiously unaffiliated – a group comprised of atheists, agnostic and those who say their religion is “nothing in particular” – is now the largest cohort in the U.S. They’re more prevalent among American adults than Catholics (23%) or evangelical Protestants (24%).
…
“We know politically for example,” [Gregory Smith at Pew] says, “that religious Nones are very distinctive. They are among the most strongly and consistently liberal and Democratic constituencies in the United States.”
Trouble is, 10,000 Nones who aren’t politically organized have less power than one Church with fifty voters that politicians know they can count on.
They’ll never have anyone to vote for. One party is christofascists, and the other no longer does fair primaries, if they bother with them at all.
I’ll tell you what. You go out and go to the local Democratic club house with the names of 1,000 dedicated voters and see if you get a reaction.
why bother with the controlled opposition party if you can get that many people together? form a direct action group to improve your local community with that instead

Or you could actually take control of the Party. The Moral Majority did that with the GOP back in the day.
fucking lol, don’t waste your time. the democratic party has killed off so many movements by consuming them and starving them slowly
