Pew: 65% of White Democrats Don’t Believe in ‘All-Knowing, All-Powerful, All-Loving’ God


Two-thirds (65%) of white Democrats do not believe in a God or higher spiritual power that is “all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-loving,” Pew Research Center reported Wednesday.

Pew released results of a new survey of more than 4,700 U.S. adults regarding their views on the existence and nature of “God, higher power or spiritual force” showing that 95% of Republicans and 95% of nonwhite Democrats believe in God/higher power. But, only 78% of white Democrats believe in the existence of God/higher power.

Believe in God/Higher Power/Spiritual Force:

Republicans: 95%
Non-White Dems: 95%
White Dems: 78%
All Dems: 86%
And, while two-thirds of both Republicans (67%) and nonwhite Democrats (64%) say God is “all-knowing, all-powerful and all-loving,” only a third of white Democrats (35%) share this belief:

God All-Knowing, All-Loving and All-Powerful:

Republicans: 67%
Non-White Dems: 64%
White Dems: 35%
All Dems: 49%

I actually was writing and researching a political science statistical research report that covered this issue once while in undergrad.

Black Dems tend to be religious
Black Reps tend to be irreligious

Hispanic Dems tend to be religious
Hispanic Reps tend to be very religious and traditional

White Reps tend to be religious
White Dems tend to be irreligious
.
Blacks are a small piece of Rep voters, thus the secularism of the average black Rep is not an issue that rises to the national level.

Hispanic and Black Dems have much more in common on values with White Reps than White Dems. Karl Rove saw this in 2000 and 2004 and used it as once piece of the puzzle to putting George W. Bush in the White House by making our vote a values vote.

The real divide in America is that Dems are led by wealthy white people who are secular and have the support of secular whites. Reps are led by wealthy white people who are religious and have the support of religious whites. Faith really is at the core of the Dem and Rep divide as that.

I will also add that race relations is another issue that seems as polarizing as faith. Why aren't religious Blacks voting Rep or moderately religious Hispanics voting Rep? It seems to be the issues related to race relations.

Money. Too many of them looking for a handout they don't think republicans will give them.

I believe this explains why the democrat party champions all kinds of evil behavior. Evil white people run the party and the minorities follow along like dependent sheep.

Try painting them black and see if that makes a difference.

Several of my better neighbors are African American and Mexican American, and they do not fit this stereotype.

For some reason I pictured you living in the UK. Maybe it's because you liked the London Baptist Confession.

I'm sure we all know people of all races who fit their stereotypes and who don't, since we're all adults with some age and experience of the world.

What is your opinion about why Christian black and Hispanic Americans may prefer the Democratic party?

I think it comes back to politics. When we preach or align with political parties, we end up preaching to the choir while emptying the pews. Some churches are all choir and zero ticket sales.

You answered as if I had asked why fewer white Democrats attend church or believe in an orthodox God.

But I asked if you have an opinion about why more black and Hispanic Christians are in the Democratic rather than Republican party.

As I see it, people go where they are most loved. And politicised churches shoot their own feet out from under themselves if they align with political parties that some deem to be less loving.

Most loved? Or most told what they want to hear?

My original post was agreeing with you.

And I’m sure you’re not only correct, but that it goes for you as well.

The world will hate Jesus and those that truly follow him.
