Again, is this the assumption that "tolerance = Democrat?"
No, it's an assumption that Democrats are less likely than Republicans to use chuches as a way of organizing politically. Deny it if you must, but think: is there a Religious Left? If you assert there is [stifled laugh], is it a major constituency of the Democratic Party?
Why do you even see the equation you see? Why do you take such umbrage at having a few tomatoes thrown at you when you are so generous handing out the lumps yourself?
Americans United is a nonpartisan organization. Anyone can join. It would be interesting to see how many Fundamentalists are in its ranks, though, as well as how many Republicans. I'd say "approaching zero" for the first, and "maybe 1/3 but mostly Episcopal, Lutheran, white-collar Catholic, Jewish, or unaffiliated" for the second. But that's only a guess.
