Church goers - Are the christian churches getting behind McCain?

For the most part I try to avoid talking to people who regularly attend church but on this point I'll listen; are the christian churches supporting McCain like they did Bush?

My church supports McCain almost exactly like it did Bush.

Which is to say not at all, because churches can lose their tax exempt status supporting candidates. But the people of my congregation aren't real supportive of me-first-and-screw-you Republicanism, if that's what you're asking. It isn't easy, and we're not always successful, but we do aspire to love our enemies, as Jesus taught. And we think that when Jesus said to love your enemies, he probably meant don't kill them.

Christian.

First United Methodist, and HELL NO!!!! we didn't get behind the rupublican candidate in past recent election cycles. We don't always agree with the Democratic candidate's take on things. We support the candidate who most closely follows the prophet Micah's exhortation: "Do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with our God!

1. Catholic parish south of Atlanta with nearly all upper middle class people. Most of whom are either self employed or are employers. My husband is blue collar UAW retiree on fire for Obama. His fellow chior mates called him "stupid" amongst other things. No kidding. My husband was so hurt he's thinking of leaving his parish. The gist seems to be the given that Obama will raise taxes and force them to spend more on their employees and less on the lake houses. They are clearly anti-Obama but don't seem to be particularly behind McCain either.

2. Non Denominational racially integrated Christian church. Most are lower middle to middle middle class in a part of Atlanta that trends Democrat. I hear very few comments on McCain at all and see quite a lot of Obama stickers on cars.

I live in Tacoma, Washington and there is only one Catholic parish in which I will attend Mass. It is a downtown Jesuit parish that has given it's mission and existence basically to preach the Gospel of Christ in the context of the poor. It takes to heart the 1982 USCC of Bishops mandate for the "preferential option for the poor" to heart. All the other Catholic parishes (most notably, St. Patrick's) are upper upper white collar bushbots who care only about the abortion and taxes issues. If you can't find a Roman Catholic Church that is liberal enough, I would suggest finding a Lutheran (ELCA) or Episcopal community to have fellowship and express your faith with!
