The republican party in the 2010s had a similar percentage of non-religious people as the democratic party in the 1990s: https://religionunplugged.com/news/2023/11/6/the-religious-c.... The percentage of republicans who never go to church in 2022 is similar to where democrats were at in 2008. With both parties seeing a shift towards non-religiosity during the Trump era.

Obviously Democrats in the 1990s weren’t theocrats. Maybe your point is that it’s not about religious attendance per se that makes for a theocracy, but the content of the religious beliefs?

My point was determining if the claim in the comment I responded to was reasonable or not based on the limited, weak evidence I could find on my lunch break.
