UK study: 61% of Christians back equal rights for gay couples

http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2012/02/14/uk-study-61-of-christians-back-equal-gay-rights/

Results of a poll released today say 61% of people in the UK who identify as Christian back fully equal rights for gay couples.

The 2011 Ipsos MORI study explored the “beliefs, knowledge and attitudes” of people who identified as Christian after the nationwide census last year.

74% of respondents said as Christians they thought religion should not have a special influence on public life.

The survey was conducted on behalf of the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science.

34% of Protestants and 52% of Catholics can at least get their heads around equal marriage rights. God knows how many drop off for truly equal rights.

It's not just a few thousand miles of ocean that divides us. It's an entire cultural divide with religiosity at its craven heart.
