56. Stats:

Solid majorities of white evangelicals, mainline Protestants, and Catholics favored the U.S.
taking military action to end Saddam Hussein’s rule. Support was strongest among evangelicals,
77% of whom supported war, compared with 62% of Catholics and mainline Protestants. But only
36% of African-American Protestants supported military action, and seculars – respondents who
said they were atheists or had no religious affiliation – divided evenly on the question (44% in favor,
44% opposed).
