Probably not many realize it, but there are no Protestants on SCOTUS.

Indeed, six Catholics and three Jews.

Where is the evangelical Protestant? I don't see one. Neither party has a Protestant in the ticket.

You must be devastated.

There are plenty of reasons to dislike Ryan, but him not being a protestant is not one of them.

Some other fun facts:

1. This is the first time two Catholics (Biden and Ryan) are running against each other for either Presidency or Vice Presidency
2. This is the first time a resident of Wisconsin was nominated by a major party for either Presidet or Vice President (the only notable major third-party candidacy I can think of is Pat Lucey in 1980)
3. This is the first time since 1984 a sitting member of the House was nominated

I thought Lutherens were the most popular denomination. 

We need more Quakers - like Nixon.

And Jehovah's Witnesses - like Eisenhower.
