• Those who attend church more are much more likely to support the Patriot Act, and believe that Hussein was behind the 9/11 attacks.
• Evangelical Protestants (60.3%) are the religious group most likely to approve of the Iraq War, followed by Catholics (46.7%).
• Beliefs about God are strongly related to views on the war on terror and trust of Bush's leadership.
• The belief that God favors the United States is the single strongest predictor of whether an individual trusts Bush, approves of the Patriot Act, thinks Hussein was involved in 9/11, and approves of the Iraq War.
• Race is a powerful predictor of support for the Iraq war. Whites (48%) are nearly four times more likely to believe the war is justified than African Americans.
