what does "not born-again christian" mean? does it include both atheists/agnostics, other religions, and people who never left Christianity to begin with? seems like a broad net
I think they mean Christians who don't describe themselves as "born-again Christians". This is based purely on context because that wording is garbage. I would have phrased it as "Christians (non born-again)".
I also like the "Not very strong Republicans" category, which makes it sound like they're talking about Republicans that don't go to the gym.
I think its supposed to be non-Evangelicals, but if they asked them to self describe in the survey it probably just means any Christians who think Evangelicals are weird.
According to Pew, the GOP base is 38% evangelical, 21% catholic, 17% mainline protestant, and 24% everything else. it's possible that the designers of the YouGov survey decided that evangelical was the only subgroup that was large enough to study individually without having an intolerably large margin of error.
