In Ohio, Democratic Church Vote Murky
Hillary Clinton has won Ohio, basically a microcosm of the United States. She swept Protestant and Catholic voters there, while Obama won the unchurched and "other Christians." At the same time, exit polls showed that Obama won weekly and monthly churchgoers, while Clinton took less frequent churchgoers. This makes for a pretty muddy picture of how Ohio's religious Democrats voted. God-o-Meter suspects it reflects Obama's landslide among blacks, who tend to be frequent churchgoers, and Clinton's strength among white churchgoers.

About God-o-Meter
The God-o-Meter (pronounced Gah-DOM-meter) scientifically measures factors such as rate of God-talk, effectiveness—saying God wants a capital gains tax cut doesn't guarantee a high rating—and other top-secret criteria (Actually, the adjustment criteria are here). Click a candidate's head to get his or her latest God-o-Meter reading and blog post. And check back often. With so much happening on the campaign trail, God-o-Meter is constantly recalibrating!
God-o-Meter blogger Dan Gilgoff is Beliefnet's Politics Editor. A former political correspondent for U.S. News & World Report, he is author of The Jesus Machine: How James Dobson, Focus on the Family, and Evangelical America are Winning the Culture War.

I'm a little annoyed by the ratings that both Hillary and Barrack are getting. I feel that Hillary is not sincere enough to get above a 5, and Barrack is not doing anything that is truely religous in his campaign to merit above a 6.
