Poll on perceptions of religions

CBS news recently conducted a poll asking Americans how they perceive different religions. The results are surprising: only 20% of Americans view "the Mormon religion" positively, compared to 19% who have a favorable view of Islam. Almost 40% of Americans view Mormons unfavorably.

Ouch. At least we're not scientologists. ;)
I wonder how many of those that voted "Unfavorable" are former or inactive members.

How sad- they just really don't understand and have very slanted and judgemental views.
