In addition to White Mainline Protestant, support was highest among Unitarian Universalist, then Jewish, followed by Buddhists, Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and Hindus. Support was least among Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons.

Too bad the poll doesn’t poll Traditional Catholics. That would be 100% strongly oppose.

Faithful, practicing Catholics will not favor gay marriage at all!

And while the Catholic Church officially opposes the legalization of same-sex marriage, about six in ten white (61 percent), Hispanic (60 percent), and other non-white Catholics (60 percent) support allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry legally.

Note to these Catholics: You aren't.

I call foul. The second largest category (slightly behind Catholics) is "Unaffiliated". This category is extremely skewed in favor of gay marriage, yet no details are provided as to the makeup of this very large segment of the sample. Without it the overall average would indicate clear opposition to homosexual marriage.

However, that would be clearly unacceptable as it would contradict the party line that opposition to homosexual marriage is declining. I strongly suspect that the "Unaffiliated" category was manipulated to throw the results.

How sad that the only opposition to so-called same sex marriage is thought to be religious or faith-based. It’s a violation of the natural law that even a noble (or even ignoble) pagan knows. It’s knowable by reason alone even before religion or faith teaches it. How sad that so many people are so dumbed down that they think it’s only an exotic religious teaching. I continue to struggle with uncharitableness but so many are so dumb today!
