People in the U.S. say protecting the rights of Christians is more important than protecting the rights of Muslims, according to a new survey.

A clear majority said it was extremely or very important for the United States to preserve religious freedom in general. But when it came to the rights of specific faiths, results diverged in a new AP/NORC poll released Wednesday.

Eighty-two percent said it was important to protect the religious liberties of Christians, compared to 61 percent who said the same for Muslims. Roughly 70 percent said the same of Jews, while 67 percent said it was important to protect the religious rights of Mormons.

Just like almost every other news article about a poll, the actual questions asked were not provided. I tried to find the actual poll via the AP-NORC website but couldn’t. I don’t think the poll reflects anything but self-preservation, but its hard to really know without knowing how the questions were phrased. I suspect they were phrased to be exclusive, that is no options but that A is more/better than B. Which is inadequate. the right answer is that ALL rights are equal (or should be) but if given a choice, then of course mine are more important than yours. But that gives a false impression of my real view on the topic. I so hate biased polls/ “news” articles.
