Thank you. Still a very high figure and look where it is - right in the Deep South and Alaska. What explains that? And yes, the first Christian hobnob, the Council of Jerusalem, was specifically to decide (against) circumcision. So, why 71%? I suspect vicarious identification with being Israelites.

Ha, Scotland had a shot at being God's chosen ones in the National Covenant of 1638... Are you familiar with Pew www.pewresearch.org/search/circu... - seems obtusely oblivious I'd like a more robust analysis of Galatians/Jerusalem and contemporary practice in the USA to understand the politics

Yes, I frequently draw on Pew. On US chosen people dynamics, having grown up just a few miles from DJT’s mother’s village I’ve written on it in a number of articles, in Poacher’s Pilgrimage www.alastairmcintosh.com/poacherspilg... and a TedX talk www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-vx...
