New Survey Identifies Religious Concerns For 2012 Election

The Public Religion Research Institute this week released a report on its  2010 Post-Election American Values Survey. The report titled Old Alignments, Emerging Fault Lines: Religion in the 2010 Election and Beyond,  reports on three findings that may have importance for the 2012 elections:  (1) only 4 in 10 Americans believe that President Obama has religious beliefs similar to their own; (2) 49% of Americans believe that the values of Islam are compatible with American values; and (3) 58% agree that God has granted America a special role in human history. ABP yesterday reported on the survey.
