Poll: 32% favor making Christianity official US religion
From a new national HuffPost/YouGov poll:
Thirty-two percent said that they would favor a constitutional amendment making Christianity the official religion of the United States, with 52 percent saying they were opposed.
An amendment to the US constitution would be necessary seeing as the very first line of the document reads "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."
For those folks who say they honor the Constitution as written by our founders, this would clearly fly in the face of what the framers originally intended for our county.
In addition, 34 percent of adults would favor establishing Christianity as the official state religion in their own state, while 47 percent would oppose doing so.
