Catholics form largest bloc in new US Congress
Jan. 5, 2007 (CWNews.com) - Catholics form the largest religious group in the new US Congress, the Reuters news service has reported.
After the new members of Congress were sworn in on January 4, Reuters provided an analysis of the lawmakers’ religious affiliations.
Roman Catholics form by far the largest group: nearly double the size of the second-largest religious contingent, the Baptists. In addition to various Protestant groups, the new Congress includes 15 Mormons, Adventists, 2 Buddhists, and the first Muslim ever to serve in the US House of Representatives.
The results of a survey by Americans for Religious Liberty showed that largest religious blocs in Congress were Catholics (with 155 members), Baptists (67), Methodists (61), Presbyterians (44), and Jews (43).
