Re: Listing the Issues
New York
The ghettos of New York are filled with religious people. In those areas there is poverty, uneducated people and a strong faith in God and community from the older people.
I don't believe they are poor and uneducated because they are religious though.

Blue collar workers are very religious as well. I don't think you have your story straight.
I think it partly is, because if the claim is made that atheists are more educated and successful than religious people, it's synonymous with a claim that liberalism, or the Democrat party, possesses more worthy, educated influence.
While it may not be part of the topic here, I do see the correlation. It may be true that the Dems have more educated people, but I don't think it makes it by default more worthy.
