Can the Democrats Win Back Religious Voters?

Following a comprehensive election loss, the Democratic Party has been left reconsidering its fractured coalition.

That’s because a “God gap” has opened in American politics, where Republicans have become the party of religious voters, while the Democrats have become the party of non-believers (with the exception of black Christians, who overwhelmingly lean blue).
