And from the headline I thought you were talking about islam, silly me.

The sample (742) was really too small to draw any serious conclusions, and when 
broken down by religious affiliation, its even smaller. That said, I suspect 
that it isn't the religious affiliation but the political orientation of the 
person. a few points on this. First the percentage of Republicans are almost 
the same as evangelicals in the study. Republicans had almost the same 
percentage favoring torture (actually it was a higher percentage). Finally 
evangelicals in the sample were almost entirely republican. So it add up to a 
fairly consistent result. Republicans favor torture rather than Christians in 
general or rather Christians who attend church more often.
