http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2006-09-11-religion-survey_x.htm

This article from USA Today is the first one I read about the survey. Some of the findings are more than upsetting (46% of all Americans say the federal government "should advocate Christian values"), but I think the survey is sound.

It's all in the spin, though. The survey says "92% say they believe in God, a higher power or a cosmic force..." but the report in the link implies that all 92% of those people just have different takes on monotheism.

Still, I think the real message is that there is no single American religion, that even the self-described Christians who make up the majority don't agree on much theologically or politically.
