Religion’s Role In Politics

Religion’s Role In Politics

Religion’s role in politics and public policy is in the spotlight going toward the midterm elections, yet few Americans consider it crucial that a candidate be devoutly religious or share their religious beliefs, according to a poll just released by NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Just 25 percent of Americans say it’s very or extremely important that a candidate has strong religious beliefs, according to the poll. Only 19 percent consider it very or extremely important that a candidate shares their own beliefs, and nearly half say that’s not very important or not important at all.
