I wonder how this disparity plays out in politics. Maybe many of the people who actually go to church regularly are secure in their faiths, and don't feel the need to prove anything in that regard. But the much larger number of Americans, folks who lie to the pollsters plus those who don't lie but feel guilty about not attending church, are more inclined to bite when provoked by the religious and moral issues that dominate political campaigns. In other words, if I'm a self-avowed religious person, but I consistently don't go to church and feel guilty about it, I might be more willing, out of that sense of guilt, to vote for extreme positions taken by politicians who claim to be religious. It's nice to know that four years of deficient worshipping can be washed away by taking five minutes to vote against gay marriage.
