From a political perspective it may not be such a dumb idea however. 77
percent of Americans identify themselves as being Christian.

Doesn't mean they want their religion running things in the state
house or in congress.

Your dysfunctional friend Harry is convinced of it.

I don't think it's unreasonable to assume Christian Democrats are less
likely to favor ratifying an official state religion than Christian
Republicans.

Liberals tend to be a little more circumspect and less dogmatic. But
I'm sure you're convinced of the opposite.

You're assuming that all democrats are liberal. I think there's
plenty of evidence to the contrary, not that I'm in favor of a state
religion. Republicans and democrats come in all stripes and their
consensus views do not necessarily reflect those of the national party
leadership.
