Your link basically proved me right.
The exceptions being Jewish and Muslim.
Uh... did you see the rest of my comment? Again, about 66% of Democrats are religious too, so your point only holds in the sense that both parties have religious majorities. "The majority of conservatives are religious" makes only slightly more sense than "the majority of criminals are right-handed".
Uh... no? You have black Protestants and Hispanic Catholics too, with Hispanic Protestants being evenly distributed. As soon as you start correcting for race, the "religious people are bad" hypothesis loses credibility fast. Whatever is poisoning religious communities in America is clearly race-based, rather than religion-based.
It's the religious right doing the bulk of the hate criming. The left tend to have more empathy and compassion, and tend to embody more humanistic views.
Conservative religious people tend to be more selfish, egotistical, and less emphatic.
