(7,641 posts)1. The "best" group was Jewish people.
2. But statistically speaking it's a three way tie for best group between Jewish, unaffiliated, and other faiths.
3. Protestants were overall the worst group (mainline protestants are 86% White).
4. Catholics were roughly 50/50, but if you break it down racially, Hispanic Catholics were EQUAL to religiously unaffiliated in support of Trump.
5. White Catholics were the worst group along with Mormons (who are almost exclusively White--85%).
Thus, what that tells me is that race is more important than religion in determining whether someone voted for Trump.
Being a Catholic means either being very much for or against Trump, whether you are White or Hispanic.
Three of the "top" four groups were religious, and one included a Christian religion.
The three "worst" groups were religious, and they all included Christians, but all three are almost exclusively white (85% or higher).
So, being White to me is way more of a problem in this instance than being religious or even Christian. I'm fairly certain the majority of Black and Brown Christians didn't vote for Trump.
