A new survey from the Pew Research Center reveals that Americans are almost perfectly divided on the question of whether the Ten Commandments — also known as the Decalogue — should be displayed in public school classrooms.
According to the poll, exactly half of Americans, 50%, said they support posting the Commandments in schools, while 48% said they are against it.
The survey also broke down opinions by religious affiliation. White Evangelical Protestants showed the strongest support for the idea, with 83% in favor. Black Protestants came in second at 64%, followed by Catholics at 56%, and White Mainline Protestants at 52%.
