The analysis, written by Adelle M. Banks, highlights findings from Pew Research Center.
"The Pew Research Center says the Senate and House members are 'largely untouched' by the continuing decrease in the portion of Americans who identify as Christian and the comparable increase in the share of those who say they do not have a religious affiliation," Banks wrote in her analysis.READ MORE: <a href="https://www.alternet.org/2022/09/republicans-united-states-christian-nation" target="self" class="rm-stats-tracked" style="color: rgb(11, 13, 101); text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">More than 60 percent of Republicans want the United States of America declared a Christian nation: report</a>She shared details about the shift in the timeline over the last several decades."The number of Christians — 469 — within the new Congress does mark the lowest number since Pew began its analysis of religious affiliation of the 111th Congress at the beginning of the 2009-10 session," she wrote, also emphasizing that the shift is "just by a hair." Banks added, "The number of Christians in Congress was above 470 in the eight most recent sessions and exceeded 500 as of 1970."Banks continued:
"Of the 534 total congressional members, 303 Protestants are being sworn in for the 2023-24 session, compared to 297 in the one that just ended. The number of Baptists remained the same — at 67 — while the number of Methodists and Episcopalians dropped by four each; Presbyterians had one fewer member. Catholics saw a drop of 10, with a new total of 148, but still comprise a greater share of Congress (28%) than they do the overall U.S. population (21%)."In another section of her analysis, Banks also highlighted a staggering statistic about the newly elected politicians that will be sworn in this week in comparison to the religious demographic of American voters.READ MORE: <a href="https://www.alternet.org/done-turning-the-other-cheek/" target="self" class="rm-stats-tracked" style="color: rgb(11, 13, 101); text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">'Done turning the other cheek': Antisemitic 'Christian' Jack Posobiec sets faith aside to rile up right-wing kids</a>"Christians comprise 88% of the voting members of the 118th Congress who are expected to be sworn in this week (week of Jan. 3), a number that has not changed much since the 1970s, when 91% of members said they were affiliated with that faith," she wrote.The report concludes with a number of other notable findings including the fact that "both chambers are dominated by Christians numerically" and "almost all Republicans — 268 out of 271 — and three-quarters of Democrats — 201 of 263 — identify themselves as Christians."READ MORE: <a href="https://www.alternet.org/2022/02/christian-nationalism" target="self" class="rm-stats-tracked" style="color: rgb(11, 13, 101); text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">America's conservatives adore Vladimir Putin’s far-right Christian Nationalism – more than freedom</a></div><div>=</div><div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">=</div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><a href="https://www.alternet.org/2020/12/trump-coup-2649651949/" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none;">https://www.alternet.org/2020/12/trump-coup-2649651949/</a></div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

If you don't remember what the tea party is, it's sort of like if you looked at the American Revolution for independence and democracy and your takeaway was … being a racist asshole. Another way to look at it is if you looked at the Civil War in the United States and boiled it down to … being a racist asshole. Let's make sure we remember the 126 fascists who signed on for this attack on American democracy, and maybe even learn a smidgen more about them and their histories of being terrible people. A tip of the hat goes to community members <a href="https://www.dailykos.com/user/republicinsanity" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" title="" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">republicinsanity</a> and <a href="https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/12/11/2001303/-The-NOT-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-list-of-despicable-deplorables" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" title="" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">Carmeninvermont</a>—republicinsanity for the Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day series that is frequently sourced here, and Carmeninvermont for the easy-to-read and understand list of GOP anti-democracy Republicans who want to overthrow our elections process in order to hoist up the most mediocre man in American history.Here is a nice list of the 126 Republican officials who whether charged with sedition and treason or not, are guilty of trying to, at the very least, thwart the will of the American people and overturn our democratically elected president:Mike Johnson of Louisiana's 4th Congressional District made small headlines this past summer when his attempts to "gotcha" assistant U.S. attorney in Maryland Aaron Zelinsky for not appearing in person during a pandemic <a href="https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/6/24/1955703/-Republicans-literally-try-to-drown-out-Judiciary-hearing-on-AG-Barr-by-pounding-the-dais" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" title="" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">blew up in his face</a>.

Like a classic Republican outsider, Boebert <a href="https://www.cpr.org/2020/06/22/rep-scott-tipton-faces-a-primary-challenger-who-questions-his-record-and-whether-hes-trump-enough/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; cursor: pointer;">attacked the incumbent</a> for his supposed eagerness to compromise with Democrats and his allegedly insufficient loyalty to Trump, despite that tweet.

Last year, <a href="https://denver.cbslocal.com/2019/09/20/beto-orourke-aurora-colorado-buyback-ar-15-ak-47-semi-automatic/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; cursor: pointer;">she confronted Beto O’Rourke</a> at an event in Colorado during the former Texas congressman’s short-lived presidential bid. Challenging O’Rourke’s plan for a mandatory buyback of high-powered rifles, Boebert declared, “I was one of the gun owning Americans who heard you speak regarding your ‘Hell yes I’m going to take your AR-15s and AK-47s.’ Well, I’m here to say ‘Hell no you’re not.’” The encounter predictably <a href="https://foxwilmington.com/headlines/colorado-business-owner-who-challenged-beto-on-second-amendment-enters-gop-primary/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; cursor: pointer;">garnered her an appearance</a> on “Fox & Friends.”</div><div class="row" style="font-size: small; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div class="col-sm-12" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div class="story-body story-content" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">More recently, Boebert defied local and state health ordinances aimed at mitigating the spread of the coronavirus <a href="https://www.postindependent.com/news/in-continued-defiance-of-health-orders-shooters-grill-takes-dining-outside/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; cursor: pointer;">to re-open her restaurant</a>, Shooters Grill, which is located in a town named Rifle (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifle,Colorado" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; cursor: pointer;">yes, really</a>). The authorities shut down the establishment, prompting a court fight that led to more headlines. Unsurprisingly, Boebert’s campaign was the only one in the state to tell the Colorado Sun <a href="https://coloradosun.com/2020/06/30/coronavirus-election-night-watch-parties-coronavirus/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; cursor: pointer;">that it would be hosting an in-person party</a> on election nighttipton had always presented himself as a fairly typical Republican and had never so much as struggled in a previous primary. Boebert’s promise to provide a purer strain of extremism—<a href="https://www.mediamatters.org/qanon-conspiracy-theory/here-are-qanon-supporters-running-congress-2020" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; cursor: pointer;">she’s even embraced</a> the bonkers QAnon conspiracy theory—isn’t anything unusual. What stands out is that she was able to communicate her grievances with a large enough proportion of the primary electorate to actually get heard.In that she may have been helped by Tipton’s apparent complacency: According to a Republican media buying firm, <a href="https://twitter.com/MediumBuying/status/1278143928651440128" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; cursor: pointer;">he didn’t spend a penny</a> on the airwaves ahead of the primary and <a href="https://twitter.com/apblumenfeld/status/1278152602912317442" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; cursor: pointer;">only resumed advertising on Facebook</a> after a long hiatus a week before the primary. Tipton’s largest expense, in fact, <a href="https://twitter.com/DKElections/status/1278151885703254017" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; cursor: pointer;">was for fundraising consultants</a>. Boebert, meanwhile, <a href="https://twitter.com/AmplifyMedia/status/1278150769963909125" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; cursor: pointer;">aired a TV ad</a> that accused Tipton of “teaming up with AOC and her squad to give Boulder a bailout” and siding with Nancy Pelosi “to give amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.”It’s a dispiriting end for Tipton, who arrived in Congress after an upset win of his own during the 2010 Republican wave. Tipton had challenged Democratic Rep. John Salazar four years earlier but was <a href="https://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=179268" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; cursor: pointer;">crushed 62-38</a>. Though he won a seat in the state House seat two years later, Tipton looked like he’d be the underdog against Salazar during their rematch. But 2010 was a very different year, and <a href="https://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=488404" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; cursor: pointer;">Tipton unseated Salazar 50-46</a>. Democrats made several attempts to defeat him over the following decade, but Tipton always decisively won.Yet while Boebert celebrates tonight (and helps spread the coronavirus), Republicans in D.C. will be shaking their heads in distress. Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, covering a huge swath of the state from Pueblo to the Western Slope, is red but not implacably so: After voting for Mitt Romney <a href="https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2012/11/19/1163009/-Daily-Kos-Elections-presidential-results-by-congressional-district-for-the-2012-2008-elections" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; cursor: pointer;">by a 52-46 margin</a>, it moved to the right four years ago, handing Trump a wider 52-40 win. But in 2018’s race for governor, <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_B8QCn7qHNicuQYUu85eEwThrxvg42XdvxSnzVcHJTM/edit#gid=658935586" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; cursor: pointer;">it snapped back a considerable distance</a>, giving the Republican candidate just a 50-46 edge.Despite that contraction, Tipton <a href="https://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=833165" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; cursor: pointer;">managed to fend off</a> Democrat Diane Mitsch Bush, a former state representative, by a slightly larger 52-44 spread that same year. But Mitsch Bush, who earned the Democratic nomination again on Tuesday by <a href="https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/06/30/1957207/-" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; cursor: pointer;">decisively winning her own primary</a>, will now see increased interest in her candidacy, and with <a href="https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00707638/1412795/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; cursor: pointer;">almost $1 million raised so far</a> this cycle, she’s already proven herself a vastly superior fundraiser to Boebert.

The district was strongly Democratic, voting for Barack Obama twice, and for John Kerry and Al Gore over George W. Bush.

overflow-wrap: break-word;">Back in 2010</a>, jeggings were the hot new fashion trend, the world learned to loathe vuvuzelas and the U.S. House of Representatives had a <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/tag/climate-change" target="self" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">climate change</a> committee.Now that the <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/midterm-results-environment-climate-change-2618493194.html" target="self" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Democrats have retaken the House</a>, one of those things is coming back. In an interview with <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/07/us/politics/house-democrats-nancy-pelosi.html" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The New York Times Wednesday</a>, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi laid out the party's plans for the next two years, including resurrecting the committee:</div><div class="js-appear-on-expand" style="transition: all 350ms ease 0s; height: auto; overflow: hidden; opacity: 1;"><blockquote style="margin: 1em 0px 1em 25px; border-left: 5px solid rgb(82, 149, 70); padding: 0px 0px 0px 25px;">Ms. Pelosi said that she would urge her caucus to revive a select committee focused on climate change, similar to the one that Democrats financed from 2007 to early 2011, to "prepare the way with evidence" for energy conservation and other climate change mitigation legislation. Republicans defunded the panel when they took the majority, but Ms. Pelosi said it was clearly still needed to educate the public about the impact of more frequent extreme weather events.</blockquote>Senior Democratic aides confirmed the plan to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-08/democrats-said-to-plan-revival-of-climate-change-panel-in-house?utm_source=google&utm_medium=bd&cmpId=google" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Bloomberg News Thursday</a>, but asked not to be named before an official announcement is made.The former <a href="https://www.markey.senate.gov/GlobalWarming/index.html" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming</a> could not propose legislation, but it could call hearings to raise awareness about the impacts of climate change and the development of <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/renewable-energy/" target="self" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">renewable energy</a>. That information helped the House develop a cap-and-trade bill that it passed in 2009, though the bill ultimately failed in the Senate.A resurrected climate change committee could focus attention on the <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/climate-change-ipcc-report-2610866229.html" target="self" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">results</a> of the most recent <a href="http://www.ipcc.ch/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change</a> (IPCC) report warning policy makers that they have 12 years to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to halt warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius above industrial levels.It would also be a way for Democrats to highlight President <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/donald-trump" target="self" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Donald Trump</a>'s refusal to seriously address climate change as they prepare for the 2020 elections. As <a href="https://qz.com/1456097/voters-are-more-worried-about-climate-change-than-ever/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Quartz explained</a>, climate change is a growing priority for voters:<blockquote style="margin: 1em 0px 1em 25px; border-left: 5px solid rgb(82, 149, 70); padding: 0px 0px 0px 25px;">Not only are more Americans worried about climate change <a href="https://ecoamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ecoamerica-american-climate-perspectives-2017-annual-summary-1.pdf" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">than ever before</a>, for the first time, a significant portion of the electorate rates climate change as a top issue. In 2016, climate change was the <a href="http://climatecommunication.yale.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Politics-and-Global-Warming-Spring-2016.pdf#page=19" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">sixth</a> most important issue for liberal Democrats, according to Yale and George Mason University, while today it's their <a href="http://climatecommunication.yale.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Global-Warming-Policy-Politics-March-2018.pdf#page=23" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">fourth</a> most important issue. It may be higher still. A recent <a href="http://maristpoll.marist.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/NPR_PBS-NewsHour_Marist-Poll_USA-NOS-and-Tables_1810241423.pdf" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Marist poll</a> found that, among all Democrats, climate change is the second most important issue, trailing only health care. And it's not just Democrats. In particularly vulnerable parts of the country, like Florida, Republicans are <a href="https://climatenexus.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/FL-Poll-Results-D2.pdf" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">worried</a> too.</blockquote>But Trump has not acted like the issue matters, promising to withdraw from the <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/paris-agreement" target="self" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Paris agreement</a>, rolling back Obama-era regulations of greenhouse gas emissions and <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/trump-climate-change-report-ipcc-2611358218.html" target="self" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">dismissing</a> the most recent IPCC report by asking, "Who drew it?"With Florida, a key swing state, beset by both nuisance <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/flooding" target="self" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">flooding</a> and <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/hurricane-michael-florida-panhandle-2611595307.html" target="self" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">increasingly intense hurricanes</a>, this attitude may come back to bite him in two years if Democrats keep bringing it up."[T]he select committee can have as many messaging hearings as their little hearts desire," to "address <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/wildfires" target="self" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">wildfires</a>, <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/hurricanes" target="self" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">hurricanes</a> and <a href="http://www.ecowatch.com/tag/sea-level-rise" target="self" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">sea level rise</a>," Anna Burhop, an environmental policy expert with <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/1222L:US" target="_blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Bracewell LLP</a>, told Bloomberg News.</div></div></div> </div><div>==</div></div></div></div></div>
