A new survey has found that politically conservative and liberal American evangelicals agree that premarital sex, homosexual activity, abortion and drunkenness are sinful.
Viewing pornography and cursing are also seen as sins by evangelicals, regardless of their political orientation, according to the survey, “Evangelicals in the Public Arena: Understanding Their Political, Moral, and Social Views.”
Grey Matter Research Consulting and marketing firm Infinity Concepts conducted the survey at the end of 2023 and the beginning of this year, getting responses from 1,039 evangelicals. About two-thirds identified as conservative, 12% as liberal and 24% as “right in the middle.”
Despite political liberals generally being identified with permissive views on sexual issues, those in the evangelical camp tend to fall in line with traditional biblical views, the survey found.
