Democrats won every religious demographic in 2008?

Depends on whether they actually attended religious services. According to exit polls, the Republican ticket won those who attended religious services one or more times a week, while the Democratic ticket won those who attended services fewer times or never, with the vote tilting more Democratic with less frequent attendance:

More than once a week: Obama 43%, McCain 55%
Once a week: Obama 43%, McCain 55%
A few times a month: Obama 53%, McCain 46%
A few times a year: Obama 59%, McCain 39%
Never: Obama 67%, McCain 30%
