Yes (to the first part)
I am very conservative and have very little religious predispositions.

Being a "born-again Democrat", here is why I left the Democrat party:
I started paying attention to my paycheck. When I was a Democrat, it was when my income was so low that "taxes" weren't something I paid attention to.
As I made more money, I started paying attention.
When I was paying thousands of dollars per month in taxes, I wanted to know where my money was going (after all, I earned it, not someone else.....and don't give me any of this "opportunity" bullshit.....I started low and worked my way up, with no formal education whatsoever, no hand-outs and no AA crap either).
Until liberals stop feeling it necessary to take my money and giving it to someone else (that doesn't deserve it), I have no use for them.
