Your take: religion in America
This morning, we’re looking at a new survey by the Pew Research Center, comparing the attitudes of Muslim-Americans to the rest of the population. We asked you about how your faith affects your happiness and how you feel about America. James from Oregon wrote this on our Facebook page:
Up to that point, it doesn’t impact my satisfaction as a citizen at all. When it becomes a public matter through charitable works and outreach, it positively impacts my satisfaction as a citizen. It is when religion is used to mandate the destruction of civil liberties or commit acts of hatred or violence that it negatively impacts me.
