There's that religion-thing again...


Mike Gerson writes that the Dems are increasingly becoming the secular party. This is a complete switch, given that Jimmy Carter The Religious took the presidency and pulled votes from the Republicans precisely because of his Christianity. Indeed:

One liberal theologian, Albert Outler, argued at the time that
religious conservatives "want a society ruled by those who
know what the Word of God is. The technical name for that is
'theocracy,' and their Napoleon, whether he likes it or not,
is Jimmy Carter."
