Americans are strongly religious, and deeply engaged in political discussion. Most of the time, they don't know how to reconcile these two.
"Large majorities of Republicans (87%), independents (65%) and Democrats (60%) denounced efforts by liberals to minimize religious influence in the public square, including 70% of conservative and moderate Democrats. Just 38% of liberal Democrats expressed this view.
The survey also found that two in three respondents (67%) characterize the United States as a Christian country. A decade ago, 60% so described the nation.
Most of those surveyed (78%) also view the Bible as the word of God. But only 35% believe it should be taken literally."
