Religiously unaffiliated people most strongly believe that empathy is a foundational moral value. Note that doesn’t necessarily mean atheists; people who believe in God but don’t associate with any particular religion would be in that group. In fact, I can’t find any information about whether atheists are included in this survey, or if this was exclusively a survey of religious people.
Interesting (but not exactly surprising) results here. Makes me glad that “religiously unaffiliated” is the fastest growing religion in the U.S.
As a resident of Utah, I’m surprised by the Mormon numbers. Kinda. In my experience, many Mormons outside of the Idaho-Utah-Arizona belt tend to be more liberal, so that might be why.
Seeing the numbers for blacks and Hispanics saddens me. That’s how the Republicans manage to get votes there.
Hi fellow Utahn! SLC here. I kind of expect Mormon numbers (across all kinds of opinions) to more closely match Evangelical numbers going forward. To me, it looks like Mormons fall into two groups these days: those who are all-in on the alpha male/tradwife culture, and those who are on their way out of Mormonism. The first group will make LDS opinions match Evangelical opinions, especially when the second group is no longer included in the LDS numbers.
