PPRI recently published survey data that revealed differences in the key issues of concern for different religious groups.
Are evangelicals different from others?
"White evangelicals in particular stand out from all other religious groups in their issue priorities. They are the only religious group for which the coronavirus pandemic does not rank among their top three issues, as only 35% say the issue is critical. White evangelical Protestants are also the only religious group in which a majority (63%) say abortion is a critical issue, and it registers as their top issue. No other religious group has a majority saying abortion is a critical issue." (PPRI staff, 2020 October 19)Is the US a Christian nation?
"More than one-third (36%) of Americans say this country has always been and is currently a Christian nation. Four in ten (40%) say it was a Christian nation but no longer is, and about one in five (22%) say the U.S. has never been a Christian nation."There's a lot more in the online review of results, which includes clearly labeled graphs. Consistent with the title of their post, the US is a house divided. I suppose that could be said of many nations.
To learn more about Christian cultures as a House Divided, see the book: A House Divided on Amazon and many other bookstores around the world.
See the PPRI post for more details on the survey.
