Two pie charts showing the religious makeup of those who lean Democrat and those who lean Republican. Christians account for about three-quarters of Republicans and about half of Democrats. 35% of Republicans are evangelical compared to only 12% of Democrats. On the other hand, 18% of Democrats are atheist or agnostic, compared to only 5% of Republicans. Mainline Protestants and non-Christian faiths (Jews, Muslims, Hinus, and Buddhists) have roughly the same share in both parties, as do Catholics, who account for about 20% of each party.
We're told to stay away from religion & politics, so what better way to kick off the #30DayChartChallenge than looking at both?
Day 1: #Fractions
