ezs note:  Ah, where do I begin?  Let's start at the beginning.  We are used to neutral polls, the earlier being Gallup, et cetera.  But what do we have here?  We have 'Lifeway Research', conveniently (!) associated with Lifeway Christian Resources and B&H Publishing (again, conservative Christian). In fact, Wikipedia  states that 'Lifeway's ministry on the subject of sexuality and gender expression categorizes non-normative identities as sinful lifestyles, (italics mine) the threat of which requires (mine) church members be "ready when homosexuality devastates"'.  But hey, I'll be big.  Let's assume that Lifeway is correct. Many Protestant ministers supported the January 6 riots.  Many support a 6000 year-old Earth.  Many support Donald Trump as a "true" president.   In other words, they support crap.  Hey, see your pastor if that's what floats your boat, but I'd rather seek the counsel of those who have their marbles together.

To read 'Gender Expressions', go to

There is one piece which I HIGHLY recommend. The author is Harry Browne, 'How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World'. Here and there, the work is a little dated, but there is so much valuable work here, it is essential reading. I highly recommend it. Since Joe Biden's inauguration, the FBI is a little less creepy, but unfree states might do the devil's work.
