>> Remember one thing. Most god fearing people are conservative Republicans. Charity is a way of life for them. Atheist, secular democrats on the other hand are more generous when it comes to sharing bongs, reefers and needles.

Good grief, Rich, what nonsense (a nice word for it).

See this site for an analysis of the religious differences between Republicans and Democrats:

Not all that significant, as you'll see. Main points from the article follow with Bold emphasis added by me:

The God Gap? The Faith of Republicans and Democrats

...

A new survey from The Barna Group explores the so-called "God gap" between Republicans and Democrats, examining 32 measures of religious commitment, belief and activity. The study shows that while Republicans continue to hold advantage in attracting born again Christian voters, Democrats are not as far behind on measures of Christian commitment as might be assumed.

Republicans were distinct from Democrats on 18 of the 32 measures. However, less than half of those (just eight of the 32 factors) generated a difference of more than 10 percentage points, suggesting that in most areas of faith, the gap between the two parties is not large.

Beliefs and Born Agains

The eight most significant differences were almost exclusively in the domain of beliefs and commitment, rather than the arena of behavior. For instance, Republicans were more likely than Democrats to strongly assert that the Bible is accurate in all of the principles it teaches (57% versus 40%); twice as likely to believe Satan is a real spiritual entity (33% versus 17%); more likely to reject the idea that good works can earn salvation (35% versus 23%); and more commonly describe themselves as absolutely committed to Christianity (61% versus 48%).

Another gap relates to the proportion of born again Christian voters aligned with each party. In Barna studies, a born again Christian is defined based upon a person’s religious beliefs - rather than their use of the "born again" term. Overall, 51% of Republicans have spiritual convictions that qualify them as born again Christians, compared with 38% of Democrats.

However, since Democrats outnumber Republicans among registered voters by a 10-point margin (31% to 41%), the born again vote balances out. This means that, if the 2008 election were held today, among born again voters, 37% would vote as a Democrat, 38% would be entering their ballot as a Republican, with the remaining born voters being unaffiliated.

Evangelicals

One crucial subset of the born again audience is evangelical Christians. Republicans attract a disproportionate share of evangelicals (described by Barna as a 9-point evangelical by virtue of their spiritual beliefs on nine separate survey questions). This group of voters - who represent 8% of the adult public - favors allegiance with the GOP over the Democrats by more than a 3-to-1 ratio (59% to 16%).

...

Other Faith Perspectives

The study confirmed one spiritual distinctive of Democrats: they are much more likely to attract a wide spectrum of religious perspectives. While one out of 14 Republicans is aligned with a religious belief system other than Christianity, the same is true for one out of every five Democrats. Among the non-Christians within the Democratic Party, two-thirds are atheists and agnostics.

Church attendance was the only area of religious behavior generating a difference between the parties of more than 10 percentage points: 53% of Republicans say they attended church in the last seven days (compared with 41% of Democrats) and only 22% of Republicans qualified as unchurched (as opposed to 34% among Democrats).

Smaller Gaps

Other gaps in faith-related behavior also emerged, though much less significant in scope. For instance, Democrats are slightly less likely to attend Sunday school classes (17% versus 25% among their GOP counterparts) and to participate in church-related small groups (18% versus 25%). Republicans feel greater compulsion to share their faith with others - 34% strongly agreed with the importance of this impulse, compared with 24% of Democrats. However, born again Democrats were equally likely as born again Republicans to have explained their faith in Jesus Christ to someone in the last year.

In terms of the size of the congregation attended, Democrats are less likely to go to churches of 500+ attenders (10% versus 18%). Members of the two parties demonstrated equivalent personal participation in prayer, Bible reading, and volunteering at a church or other charitable organization.

The survey also explored denominational loyalties. One-quarter of the adults associated with each of the parties is Catholic (23% of Republican voters, 27% of Democrats). Non-mainline Protestants make up roughly one-third of both groups (36% and 31%, respectively), while mainline Protestants, surprisingly, are more common among the GOP (21% versus 13%).

Several other religious beliefs generated gaps between the parties. Republicans are more likely to deem their religious faith to be important in their life (77% versus 67%) and they are more likely to believe that God is the all-knowing, perfect creator and ruler of the universe (75% versus 65%).

Yet other areas of belief were indistinguishable between the parties, such as the likelihood of saying their primary purpose in life is to love God with all their heart, mind, soul and strength; contending that their life has been "greatly transformed" by their faith; and rejecting the notion that Jesus sinned.
