check out this survery from MSNBC: Results of NBC survey on religion and American life
It covers a variety of questions, many on whether churches should be involved in different social issues or not. The responses are intriguing. Note, for example, how many people don't think that churches should be involved in civil rights. Or the percentage of people that subscribe to a "total biblical" view of creation. That one really surprised me, I must say.

57% for creationism? That is surprising. I wonder how they comprised their polling sample.
My belief in "God the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth..." isn't falsifiable. So which either/or alternative should I pick? People on both sides present this as a false choice: Jesus or Darwin - Pick one.
I see that there are more democrats than republicans, that more people than I supposed pray regularly, and that fewer than I thought volunteer. It's a very interesting survey; I'm glad you linked to it.
