POLL: Same-Sex Adoption Rights Don’t Infringe On ‘Religious Liberty’ | A Public Religion Research Institute poll released today found that 52 percent of Americans favor legalizing marriage equality for same-sex couples, including 59 percent of Catholics and 65 percent of white mainline Protestants. According to the survey, 63 percent also believe that religiously affiliated organizations that receive federal funding should be required to let gays and lesbians adopt children. In addition, 50 percent even believe religiously affiliated organizations that do not take federal funding should still offer same-sex adoptions. And though Republican presidential candidates have accused President Obama of waging a war on religion, the poll found that 56 percent of Americans do not believe religious liberty is under attack.
