In recent years, we have detected that Democrats and Republicans are increasingly finding themselves further apart politically, socially, and spiritually. I don't find Republicans have taken any major steps away from what they always believed in, God, family, and country.

According to Pew Research, Republicans that are certain or fairly certain that there is a God are at 90%. Democrats that are certain or fairly certain there is a God are at 76%.

Democrats no longer talk men and women; they talk LGBTQIA, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, and asexual. And we are told there are many more.
