A chart released by the Pew Research Center shows religious leanings of most major US religious denominations and groups. Most of them aren't at all surprising.
Mormons lean most heavily Republican, with 70% identifying with America's conservative-leaning political party, which includes former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, with only 19% identifying as Democratic or leaning towards the traditionally Left-leaning party, which includes Mormon Sen. Harry Reid.
Abortion opposing Southern Baptist Convention unsurprisingly leans Republican (64%) while the more moderate American Baptist Churches USA are evenly split 41% Republican and 42% Democrat.
Perhaps one of the surprises of the chart is the liberal mainline Presbyterian Church (USA) showing a 44% preference for Republicans, with just 47% identifying as Democrat or leaning towards the more liberal party.
Catholics are just about evenly split, with just 37% Republican and 44% Democrat, exactly mirroring the American electorate.
A mere 14% of Atheists say they're Republicans, while 17% of Muslims identify with the GOP, and with Donald Trump's advocacy of a blanket ban on Muslims entering the US, it would be a safe bet that many more Muslims will be headed towards the Democrat side in future years.
