A new report from the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) finds that strong majorities within all religious groups, including white evangelicals and Jehovah’s Witnesses, show sustained support for LGBT nondiscrimination policies.
The newly released data from PRRI’s 2018 American Values Atlas, an annual survey of more than 40,000 Americans, showed that 69 percent of all Americans are in favor of enacting laws shielding LGBT people from discrimination in jobs, public accommodations and housing.
Though least likely to support these policies, small majorities of white evangelical Protestants (54 percent) and Jehovah’s Witnesses (53 percent) were in favor of laws protecting LGBT people. (RNS)
