Survey findsAmericans flexible on faith tenets and interpretations: The Pew Religious Landscape Survey
Think you know what Americans believe about religion? Think again.
• Seven in ten Americans who follow one particular faith believe that many religions can lead to eternal life.
• Asked if there is “more than one true way to interpret” the teachings of their faith, 82 percent of mainline Protestants and 77 percent of Catholics said yes. A majority of evangelicals (53 percent) also agreed with that statement.
