Religion news: Occupy Wall Street and the tea party
("Hillsdale.net," November 25, 2011)

Hillsdale, USA - The Public Religion Research Institute, in partnership with the Religion News Service, recently released the results of a new national survey that finds equal numbers of Americans say both the Occupy Wall Street and tea party movements share their values (29 percent each).

Here are some more findings from the study:

- Among religious groups, white evangelical Protestants are the most likely to say that the tea party movement shares their values (49 percent), but 39 percent say it does not. Nearly 4-in-10 (38 percent) of religiously unaffiliated Americans say the Occupy Wall Street movement shares their values, compared with 34 percent of minority Protestants, 30 percent of white mainline Protestants, 29 percent of Catholics and 18 percent of white evangelical Protestants.

- Americans are evenly divided in their evaluations of the responses of churches and clergy to the economic crisis. Forty-six percent say churches and clergy have not provided enough moral leadership on the country's most pressing economic problems, compared with 45 percent who disagree. With the exception of minority Protestants, all major religious groups are divided on this question. Sixty-four percent of minority Protestants agree that churches and clergy have not provided enough moral leadership on economic problems.

- Majorities of nearly all other demographic groups, including all major religious groups, agree that it's fair to ask wealthier Americans to pay a greater percentage in taxes than the middle class or those less well off.

- There are interesting divisions over cutting federal funding for programs that help the poor, depending on whether the funding is going to religious organizations. Nearly 7-in-10 (68 percent) Republicans oppose cutting federal funding to religious organizations helping the poor, but only 46 percent oppose cutting general federal funding to help the poor. Among Democrats, there is an opposite, though less pronounced, pattern: 83 percent oppose cutting general federal funding to help the poor, but only 66 percent oppose cutting federal funding to religious organizations to help the poor.
