RELIGION AND SSM: PEW POLL

Poll is here in PDF form. SSM stuff starts on p. 45. Pew's summary, also PDF, is here.

Associated Press summary here: Americans in most religious categories want laws to define marriage as between a man and a woman, with support among black Protestants virtually as high as among white evangelical Protestants, according to a survey issued Thursday.

The 4,000 respondents chose among three options: legal status only for heterosexual marriage (55 percent of the total sample in favor), legalized civil unions (18 percent) or legalized same-sex marriage (27 percent). ...

The only groups giving majority backing to same-sex marriage were Jews (55 percent), white Catholics identified as "modernist'' in belief (51 percent), followers of faiths other than Judaism or Christianity (50 percent) and the growing category of those with no religious affiliation (50 percent).
