From a "First Amendment" column, by Charles Haynes, I am sharing the following information for you enlightenment.

A recent survey (Bliss Institute of Applied Politics--?), interested in comparing conservative and progressive religious activists, was conducted on how the world is seen.

Summaries: Right (wing) activists are 54% evangelical Protestant, 35% Catholic, 9% mainline Protestant (other 2%?). Left (wing), 44% mainline Protestant, 17% Catholic, 10% evangelical Protestant, 12% interfaith, mixed or Unitarian, and 6% Jewish, with 8% unaffiliated.

Conservative religious activists identify abortion (85%) and same-sex marriage (65%) as their top two most important issues. (Wow!) Liberal activists put poverty (74%), health care (67%), and the environment (56%) at the top of their list (abortion and gay marriage at the bottom). Mirror image. (95% of the former say abortion should be illegal vs. 20% from the latter. Same-sex percentages are similar.)

Role of government in addressing social welfare? 72% progressives want more to reduce poverty and hunger; only 10% conservatives agrees.

Finally, the survey reports 81% of liberal religious activists say the U.S. "should maintain a strict separation of church and state," a position held by only 21% of conservatives. Was America founded a Christian nation? Nearly all activists on the right say yes, while only 37% on the left do. (I'm buying stock in blinders.)

I'm sure the survey was more detailed than what the article stated. For example, no mention of a belief in evolution was made. I doubt if there would be any surprises. No inclusion of secularists was listed.

Vision may be in the eyes of the beholder, but thanks to the First Amendment, we don't have one version of God (or not) imposed on all of us.
