Fact Sheet | Attitudes about Mormons and Implications for Mitt Romney
Mormons as Christians: Nearly 4-in-10 (38 percent) say they do not consider the Mormon faith a Christian religion. There is significant disagreement between different religious groups. Half of white evangelical Protestants and black Protestants say the Mormon faith is not a Christian religion; however, majorities or pluralities of all other major religious groups and religiously unaffiliated Americans say that they consider the Mormon faith to be a Christian religion.

Catholics do tend to get the right messages from their religion despite their leadership.

Well, so much for that attempt to bring down Obama.

American Catholics generally don't like the Pope telling the US what we should do.

It rains here everyday, never sunshines. Everyone hates God and worships the Rain. Just kidding. Its a great place to live. Temperate climate, healthy economy, Almost as Liberal as San Francisco. Seattle is probably low on the scale of religion, but most small cities have a church on every corner.

this one I find kinda amusing..

Few Americans see earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters a sign from God
The new PRRI/RNS Religion News Survey was conducted by Public Religion Research Institute in partnership with Religion News Service following the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

Among White evangelicals, 67% believe that natural disasters are evidence of what the Bible calls the 'end times
Among Republicans, 52% believe that natural disasters are evidence of what the Bible calls the 'end times'

"end of times", really?

I believe most major religions (Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism and Islam) have an "end of the world" myth of some sort, so why are you making fun of Christians?
