I mean the logic is that republican voters are willing to vote against the economic interests of pretty much everyone to fulfill some fanatical ideology that only a minority of the population actually holds. That seems crazy to me, but I don't know if I consider myself an average American though.

EDIT: Also, when I say minority I'm not sure how much of a minority it actually is anymore. The domination of religious teaching in politics has been so volatile in U.S. politics that calling it a minority is wrong actually.
