[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 223122, member: 1246"] I found this.... Polls show that religiosity is a factor in the opposition to gay marriage. According to a [URL="http://pewforum.org/docs/index.php?DocID=150"][U][COLOR=#0000ff]July 2006 survey[/COLOR][/U][/URL] by the Pew Forum, Americans oppose gay marriage 56% to 35%, but those with a high level of religious commitment oppose it by a substantially wider margin of 75% to 18%. Opposition among white evangelicals is even higher, at 79%. A majority of Catholics (53%) and black Protestants (74%), as well as a plurality of white mainline Protestants (47%), also oppose gay marriage. Only among seculars does a majority (63%) express support. However, sizable majorities of white mainline Protestants (66%), Catholics (63%) and seculars (78%) favor allowing homosexual couples to enter into civil unions granting many of the legal rights of marriage. As with gay marriage, white evangelicals (66%), black Protestants (62%) and frequent church attenders (60%) stand out for their opposition to civil unions. The general public narrowly supports civil unions (54% to 42%). [/QUOTE]
