Church state split seen as theory not practice
AP religion writer George Cornell reports Americans back the idea of separation of church and state but oppose its practical outcomes. Majorities support school prayers at sports events, moments of silence for prayer, and religious groups meeting in classrooms after hours, with Christian or Jewish holiday symbols on government property. The survey of 3017 adults notes limited candidate religious prejudice but strong faith expectations for presidents, and confusion about the First Amendment.
