Come on. There is almost NOBODY claiming they voted on the economy in this election. Give me some statistics to back up YOUR claims on that.
One of the lectures was by Karen Armstrong, who cited someone I can't remember for her statistics. If you really want to know methodology/etc., feel free to do a search yourself. As I sometimes get my information other places than the internet, I can't tell you off the top of my head who she gets her facts from. She has studied religion more than almost anyone in the world, however, so I was willing to take her statement at face value, especially since it's been backed up by other books I've read, knowledgeable people I've spoken with, and personal experience. A quick search on google finds everyone from Harvard professors to Religious Right nutcases in agreement.
And no, actually, I was saying that the number of non-fundie Christians has increased, not declined. Which is usually what happens during a "religious revival."
