The Weekly Standard has an interesting

on secularist support for the Democrat party compared to conservative Christian support for the
Republicans. Of course one difference is that the former is implicit while the latter is explicit. Secularists
tend to align with certain policies, but their influence is felt through a multiplicity of PACs and
organizations, rather than a "Secular Coalition."
Update: Chris Mooney has a better

than I.... (one thing that Winkler leaves out-most "Secularists" believe in God, no more than 5% of the
American population doubt God, and more like 2% are probably avowed atheists like me. Also, very
religious groups like black Americans vote Democratic at a higher rate than Secularists).
