A new post-election survey finds perceptions of President Obama’s religious beliefs, potential conflicts between those identifying with the Tea Party and white evangelicals, and attitudes about Islam are emerging religious issues that promise to shape the 2012 elections in new ways. The 2010 post-election American Values Survey was conducted by Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) in cooperation with The Brookings Institution.

A new national survey finds that few Americans believe they will personally be harmed by climate change but that it poses significant risk to people in poorer countries. The PRRI/AAR Religion, Values and Climate Change Survey finds that less than one-quarter (24 percent) of Americans believe that they will be personally harmed a great deal by climate change, while 30 percent say climate change will affect them a moderate amount. Nearly half say climate change will cause them little (23 percent) or no (22 percent) harm. In contrast, a majority (54 percent) of Americans say that people living in poorer developing countries will be harmed a great deal as a result of climate change, while 20 percent say people in developing countries will experience a moderate amount of harm.
The landmark 3,000-person survey, conducted by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute in association with the American Academy of Religion, explores beliefs and concerns about climate change and the impact of religion on those attitudes.

Additionally, the survey explores the impact that race and ethnicity, religion, and political affiliation have on these attitudes and behaviors.

An overview of religion and politics
In comparison with other nations, faith in ten United States has a very high adherence level. In accordance with the first amendment if the united states constitution, the government should not interfere with religious practices in any way. Religion should be free to exercise irrespective of any underlying circumstances. In contrast with other developed nations, religion has become a crucial aspect in the lives of Americans. It has helped them to make logical decisions as well as considerations in their life (Barber, N. (2012). To add to this religious diversity, the United States has both imported religion as well as indigenous faiths. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the two core parties differed along ethnic as well as religious grounds. The northern inhabitants were both the Protestants, Whigs, or republicans, while in the south, most of the Democrats were Catholics. At the end of the 19th century, the population ion the south was comprised of white democrats and black republicans.
Composition of the Christian population
Approximately 70% of the entire American population are Christians, while the other 6% of the population is a combination of diverse faiths like Islam, Judaism, and Hinduism. It is estimated that 23% of the entire population have no religious affiliations at all (Barber, N. (2012). However, the extent of faith varies among the people residing in the East and West. While only around 50% entirely adhere to the belief in the western states, approximately 90% of the population in the south are sound believers. With the foundation of the United States under religious frameworks, the nation has incorporated so many religions hence the name Protestant nation. Nevertheless, most of these religions in the states are politically active, just like the politicians (Barber, N. (2012).

This is the letter that was sent by pastors asking President Obama to make a religious exception in the law concerning the hiring of LGBT individuals by religious organizations. Under current plans, President Obama would require religious organizations to hire members of the LGBT community in order to compete for dollars which have traditionally been delivered to religious organizations to help them serve the community and public. Will Obama respond favorably? Or will he simply impose his views without regard to closely held religious practices? We will see.

Similar to Old Alignments, New Fault Lines: The 2010 Post-Election American Values Survey (20)
Presentation by Public Religion Research Institute Research Director Daniel Cox at the 2011 American Association of Public Opinion Research annual conference.
Presentation given by Robert P. Jones, CEO of Public Religion Research Institute, at April 12, 2011 'Choosing our Words Carefully' forum hosted by the Center for American Progress. Other participants included: Jim Kolbe, former Republican congressman from Arizona; James Zogby, president of Arab American Institute; Andrea Nill, immigration researcher-blogger at ThinkProgress.Org; and Angela Kelley, vice-president for immigration policy and advocacy at the Center for American Progress.
This paper by Public Religion Research Institute's Dr. Robert P. Jones and Daniel Cox explores two neglected aspects of religion--spirituality as a distinct component and progressive religiosity--and proposes new measurement strategies for examining them. We have two main findings: 1) that spirituality can indeed be isolated as a dimension of religiosity independent of belief and practice; and 2) that identifying a structuralist vs. individualist approach to religious ethics is a promising approach for distinguishing progressive religiosity and avoiding conservative measurement bias inherent in such common measures as religious service attendance.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
