Most Americans Don’t Believe a ‘Good Christian’ Can Support Abortion or Gay Marriage
by Michael Grayboski, Christian Post:
Most Americans don’t believe a person can be a “good Christian” and support abortion or same-sex marriage, according to results from a YouGov poll.
In a poll conducted earlier this month by YouGov, only 33 percent of respondents believed a person can be a good Christian and support abortion. The poll also found only 38 percent believed one can be a good Christian and support gay marriage.
The sample space for the study comprised of 1,000 respondents who were U.S. citizens aged 18 and older and interviewed online April 1-3.
Peter Moore of YouGov wrote Tuesday that the results of the study showed “attitudes to who is and is not a good Christian vary widely according to the topic, but less according to the denomination.”
“Most American Christians think you can be a good Christian and drink while married to a non-Christian, but few think that you can be a good Christian and support legal abortion,” wrote Moore.
In addition to categorizing respondents on the basis of political affiliation, race, and gender, researchers also noted differences by religion, especially among Catholic and Protestant respondents.
