Frida Ghitis : The New York Times ran a piece offering up religion as a way to bring Democrats out of the political wilderness.

She says Democrats became aware of what came to be called the God Gap, the propensity of weekly worship attenders of all faiths to vote Republican by a margin of 60%-40% .

Ghitis says politics increasingly appears to be driving religiosity rather than the other way around.

In the age of Trump , a candidate’s religious identity seems to matter less and less, she says.
