41% Think Legal System Worries Too Much About Church-State Separation
Most Americans say religion is important to their everyday life, and a plurality thinks the country’s legal system is too worried about the separation of church and state.
Seventy-three percent (73%) of American Adults say their religious faith is at least somewhat important in their daily life, including 49% who say it’s Very Important. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that one-in-four (25%) do not consider religion important in their daily life, with 13% who say it’s Not At All Important.
