New Poll On Religion In Public Life

Last Friday, Rasmussen Reports released a new poll of American adults on issues of religion in public life and the performance of the courts. Among the results: 64% believe judges' rulings have been more anti-religious than intended by the country's founders. 46% say the Supreme Court has been too hostile toward religion. 39% say the Court is too liberal, while 25% say it is too conservative. 45% believe that justices nominated by President Obama will be too liberal. 61% favor prayer in public schools. Breakdowns show Evangelical Christians most likely to see courts as anti-religious.
