Are there any Democrats in Congress that are self-professed Christians?
Or, for that matter, how many Republican members of Congress are self-professed Christians?

Do any of the RRR (Rabid Religious Reich) groups keep tabs on who is and is not a Christian in Congress?

Does anyone have links or data?

I think it was on www.informationclearinghouse.info a few months back. It was about Dominionism.

Meanwhile, there's this:

3. If you're a Democrat
your faith doesn't count. Esp. if your faith doesn't make you just like them.

Hillary has said she has faith. So has Kerry. So did Gore. They just don't wave it in people's noses, is all.

At 29 percent of 109th Congress, Catholics remain largest faith group

With 128 voting representatives and 24 senators identifying themselves as Catholics in a survey by Congressional Quarterly, Catholicism remains the largest single religious affiliation claimed by members of the new Congress. Baptists were second, with 65 House members and seven senators.

After Catholics and Baptists, the most-represented denominations in the 109th Congress are Methodists, at 63 in both houses; Presbyterians, at 50; Episcopalians, at 41; and Lutherans, at 20. Another 38 members of Congress identified themselves as Christians, without specifying a denomination, and seven listed no religious background.

Eleven senators and 26 House members identified themselves as Jewish, while 11 representatives and five senators said they belonged to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Other faith groups represented in the 109th Congress include the African Methodist Episcopal Church, Christian Reformed Church, Christian Scientist, Community of Christ, Disciples of Christ, Eastern Orthodox, Pentecostal, Quaker, Seventh-day Adventist, Unitarian and United Church of Christ and Congregationalist.
