religion and the war

According to a survey conducted March 13-16 by the Pew Research Center and the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, 62 percent of American Catholics support the war, the same percentage as white, mainline Protestants. Religious support was strongest among evangelicals, 77 percent of whom support the war.

Only 36 percent of African-American Protestants favored military action in Iraq. "Seculars" -- respondents who said they were atheists or had no religious affiliation -- divided evenly, with 44 percent in favor and 44 percent opposed. --source

Gil, you seem to say Bush understands why the war is right *despite* his religion. in light of this view, could you explain the above stats which feature Christians being better on the war than non-religious people?
