According to
ethicsdaily.com, 33% of Americans favor a Constitutional amendment to establish Christianity as the national religion. 59% favor the teaching of Creationism in public schools, and over 80% approve of government-sanctioned references to God and religion, such as in the pledge of allegiance.
I have no confidence in the general population. I wonder whether these views (which would entirely undermine the US republic as it currently operates) are due to a lack of education (which i suspect) and wonder if raising education standards would help to curb this ignorance. Although, I suppose if the moronic masses are kept relatively powerless, there's no harm.
