The freedom agenda marches on

In a country were 47% of the population believes that the planet Earth is 10,000 years old should we be surprised that they don't understand their own constitution either? The First Amendment Center has done a survey of American attitudes towards and understanding of the basic freedoms as enshrined in the US constitution. The results aren't all that pretty. 55% believe that the founders intended a Christian nation and 25% think the First Amendment "goes too far".

The full results (PDF) are to be found here.
