jawns wrote of Catholicism, bsdpufferfish and throw__away7391 wrote of Christianity. The latter, broader, category is the majority of the population across the USA. The enormous power exists in the voters within the USA, because it's a democracy filled with many who hold religious views, despite the theoretical separation of church and state. "In God We Trust" on the money is a superficial symptom of that. |

The claim that is addressing is that religion is the mean of popular belief. How does that account for the Catholic experience? Catholics are obviously a minority among American christians and have less political power.

Indeed. However they are not organized in any way. The percentage who has been to a church more than 3x in their life is probably significantly lower.
