>America is a christian count--

Why does no one ever talk about the incredible over-representation of Episcopals and Presbyterians in the US politics?

Meanwhile evangelicals and catholics get shafted hard.

Freemasons could be argued to be pegged to Judaeo-Christian traditions.

Does it apply to Egypt

>>3340953
>Only 3 Baptist presidents were Lincoln, Carter, and Clinton

Wasn't expecting that

That's because Episcopalianism is objectively the correct denomination of Christianity for an American to belong to.

Wasn't America overwhelmingly Episcopal/Presbyterian at the time of the founding?

America was mostly Anglo at its founding and the political/economic elite were disproportionately WASP until pretty recently (as Catholics and Jews assimilate).

That being said, plenty of almost-winning presidential candidates were something other than mainline Protestant. The Democrats nominated Michael Dukakis (Orthodox) in 1988 and John Kerry (Catholic) in 2004, while the Republicans nominated Mitt Romney (Mormon) in 2012.

Right, but it's been a very long time since they had significant numbers. I can't find something precise but it looks like Mainline Protestants went from 30 millions in 1950 to 15 millions and they only made up a fraction of those.
What's true is that most of the old money elites are Episcopal/Presbyterian (also Northern Baptist.)
Both denominations together only make a little over 3% of the population now, yet they still have 20% of Senators and ~40% of the Presidents since WWI were members.
