Just got an autocall from the American Future Fund with a poll - a very simple one about who I'm voting for for president, who I voted for in 2008, and who I'm voting for for Senate - but it had a few other questions, too.

It asked race, gender, military service, interest level in the campaigns - it didn't ask whether I was a registered voter, or even an American citizen, though, which makes me wonder about the validity of the results.

It also asked what religion I am - and gave a range of options, including Mormon, Evangelical, Catholic, Jewish or Muslim. But the next question was, "how often do you attend church?"

I'm Jewish, and this month I'm going to services at my temple more than once a week because of the High Holidays and a slew of bar mitzvah services. Muslims may go to a mosque weekly or even more often. But neither Jews nor Muslims regularly go to church.

I could be a conspiracy theorist and say that the American Future Fund is going to use this poll to show that many Obama voters don't attend church and say that means whatever they want it to mean. Or it could be an unconscious manifestation of Christian-centric privilege that they're not going to showcase or trumpet.

But they could try, so I'm putting this diary out there to have their specific questions on the google-able record.
