A new survey by the Pew Research Center has uncovered a rare point of consensus among the American public regarding faith and patriotism. When researchers posed the question about whether God shows special favor to the United States above all other countries, respondents overwhelmingly rejected this idea. Fewer than one in ten members of any faith community answered affirmatively to this question. According to the findings, two-thirds of all Americans believe that God does not show preference for any single nation over others. The research indicates that members of organized religious communities expressed even stronger disagreement with the concept of divine national favoritism, with their rejection rates surpassing those of the general population.
