c)You might want to check your math. Current population of the US is about 294 million. Only 75% of them are of voting age. That's 220 possible voters. 20% of that would be only 44 million. And not everybody who is of age to vote is registered, and fewer still actually vote. I note that I haven't got a solid reference, so that's all anedcdotal. The point is simply that while there may be many such people, the barriers are not insurmountable.
b)You present it very carefully and respectfully. Faith and reason are not mutually exclusive. The core text of Christianity is a work highly subject to interpretation, after all.
a)You'll see more support for the meme that liberal ideas are wicked and dangerous, yes. But that support relies upon fear and ignorance. All the more reason to stand against the meme.
