Voting by Religion

The 2017 Election Study has some interesting data, including a breakdown by religion as to how respondents voted. It was:

  • No religion: National 39%, Labour 39%, Greens 10%, NZF 5%
  • Christian: N 50%, L 33%, G 3%, NZF 9%
  • Buddhist: N 61%, L 21%, G 14%
  • Hindu: N 25%, L 71%
  • Muslim: N 36%, L 65%
  • Jewish: L 41%, N 8%
  • Satanic: L 26%, G 74%

So atheists split between National and Labour. National gets more support from Buddhists and Christians. Labour gets more support from Hindus, Muslims and Jews and Greens do best with Satanists!
