"One survey item asks whether the respondent considers himself or herself "a religious person." With Muslims, 85% say yes, but 84% of Christians do as well.

Sixty-six percent of Muslims versus 71% of Christians agree that "religious leaders should not influence how people vote." When the numbers are crunched with the proper controls, even this small difference evaporates."
