This is a really important piece. A must-read if you're tracking shifts and changes in the American religious landscape. Implications abound!

As abortion surges further into the 2024 spotlight, there's a 50-point gap between Republicans and Democrats on abortion legality — 'the largest partisan gap we’ve ever seen,' said Dr. Melissa Deckman, the CEO of PRRI.

Conservative voters have been most likely to believe their freedom was eroding & to respond to arguments stressing individual liberty. But after Roe overturn, 'these times have made freedom a more accessible, even an existential, issue for people on the left' Dr. Melissa Deckman

Where will people commune in a Godless America?
