A new survey has found that Republicans regularly go to church twice as many times as Democrats do. In the survey assessing Americans’ attitudes towards religious freedom, Republicans, specifically conservatives, emerged as standout churchgoers.

While 46 percent Republicans said that they attend church services on a regular basis, only 23 percent Democrats said that they do so at the same frequency. Only a quarter of Republicans or 24 percent said they do not attend church services or refused to answer the question as opposed to 46 percent Democrats.

When distinguished by ideology, only 18 percent liberals said that they attend church services on a regular basis while 62 percent said that they do not do so. For conservatives on the other hand, 41 percent said that they attend church services on a regular basis while 34 percent said that they do not.

However, in the entire country, faith in God continues to be high even among those who do not associate themselves with any particular religion.

The survey found that evangelical Christians are the most religious, with 100 percent expressing faith in God and attending church services more than any other group.

The survey, which was carried out by Patrick Caddell, focused on America’s reaction to the recent Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage earlier this year. While most respondents said that they would like a truce between proponents of religious liberty and advocates of LGBT rights, in the case of a possible culture war between both parties, they said that they would side with religion-affiliated groups and enterprises.

“What can be concluded from these results is: no one wants a religious war over this issue, but God help you if you start one,” wrote Caddell.

Caddell also pointed to the findings of the survey that reflected Americans’ faith in God while noting that there is a strong presence of spirituality even among those who do not like to associate themselves with any one religion.

“Of those 13 percent who were 'no preference,' over three fifths are spiritual and express a belief in God. Indeed, in a follow up question to them, 71 percent identify as Christian. Therefore the vast majority of that growing category of none/no preference are Christians who are religious but are rejecting any specific organized denomination of religion,” wrote Caddell.
