A new Pew Research Center report shows that while a majority of U.S. citizens view religious bodies as having a positive impact on society, they also believe that they should not take part in politics, the Christian Post website reports today (November 20, 2019).
Pew found that 63 percent of respondents wanted religious groups to "keep out of political matters" and 76 percent opposed churches endorsing political candidates.
The report also found that while 28 percent of respondents felt churches did not have enough influence on politics, 37 percent felt they had too much, and 34 percent felt they had "about the right amount of influence in politics."
Pew drew their data from a survey conducted online March 18--April 1 with a nationally representative sample of 6,364 U.S. adults, with a margin of error of plus or minus 1.7 percent.
