Why Nearly All Americans Support Public Displays of Faith

Even as interest in organized religion declines in the United States, Americans remain incredibly supportive of public displays of faith, according to new research from the Deseret News and Marist Poll. The survey showed that more than 9 in 10 U.S. adults, including 93% of those who do not practice a religion, feel "very comfortable" or "comfortable" with people wearing religious symbols or attire. Republicans (96%) and Democrats (92%) are almost equally supportive of this practice, as are the youngest Americans and the oldest.
