That is a really interesting article Reziac.

On the other side of the pond, I wonder if you did this survey in the Deep South, or Appalachia (where I was born), and changed the questions a little to apply to Christianity, how different the answers would be. For example, people there still sing songs in some places about the War of 1812 and forcing out the British, etc.


Only 74 percent completely condemn “suicide bombing to fight injustice”;
What if you asked about suicide bombing to fight North Koreans who took over a Montana city and interned its citizens?
Only 66 percent completely condemn stoning those who commit adultery;
Only 53 percent completely condemn violence against those who mock Muhammad;
What about condemning violence against those who mock Jesus? (e.g. how many would be upset if someone punched a person who said something really abhorrent about Jesus)
Only 34 percent would contact police if they believed someone close to them was involved with jihadism;
How many Americans would turn in a loved one who has committed a crime? Certainly in many neighborhoods like Boston and New York and Chicago, this is a death wish.
23 percent believe Sharia law should replace British law in areas with large Muslim populations;
What percentage like the government worker in Kentucky who said Christian law wouldn't let her grand a marriage license to two men (and got support) think Christian "law" supersedes state law?
52 percent believe homosexuality should be illegal;
ibid
31 percent believe polygamy should be legal;
16% of Americans recently polled (in 2015) stated they do not have a problem with polygamy
39 percent believe women should always obey their husbands;
Ephesians 5:22 "Wives submit yourselves to your own husbands as to the Lord"
35 percent believe Jews have too much power in the UK.
Yeah, I'm not touching this one

In the US, we do have separation of church and state. It's in the constitution. So, perhaps in this country, we also have something going on that if we did a similar survey, the results would be surprising.
