re: #342 iceweasel

See my 328. The short answer is because there’s nothing like doctrinal unity or consensus of opinion within the religious right over environmentalism.

I agree, that’s a huge factor, for the churchgoers. My only quibble is that a lot of people who are not necessarily religious seem to have been influenced by the fervor of the anti-abortion and anti-gay factions who frame it as a religious matter. And I haven’t seen equivalent influence on the AGW side. Al Gore gets mentioned 100 times more often than God, where climate is concerned. A mystery.
