<Report Summary: In U.S., Far More Support Than Oppose Separation of Church and State>

This report from Pew Research Center explores Americans' views on religion's role in public life based on a March 2021 survey of 12,055 U.S. adults.

Key findings:

1. Prevalence of Separation: A clear majority (55%) support the principle of separation between church and state, while only 14% express a "church-state integrationist" perspective advocating for greater religious influence in government and society. About one-fifth (18%) take a "mixed" position.

2. Religious and Political Alignments: While highly religious Christians (especially White evangelicals) show more openness to fusion ideas, few consistently hold this view (36% among White evangelicals vs. 74% separation). Republicans/Republican leaners (58%) are significantly more likely than Democrats (80%) to favor separation.

3. Demographics: Support for separation is strong among Jewish adults (100%), the religiously unaffiliated (57%), college graduates, younger adults, and liberals. Whites express the highest separation support, while Hispanic and Black adults are more likely to express no opinion.

4. Correlation with Political Views: Strong separation supporters consistently reject Christian nationalism and other facets of Republican ideology. White separationists also tend to reject racial discrimination narratives more strongly than White integrationists.

The most significant finding is the stark contrast between the American public's views and common stereotypes about intense religious influence in politics. Despite concerns often linked with certain religious groups, the survey shows clear preference for maintaining a secular national identity across the board.
