Interesting article about a poll of Muslims asking them how they feel about certain aspects of their faith.

Here’s a snippet:

Morality- Muslims around the world overwhelmingly view certain behaviors as immoral, including prostitution, homosexuality, suicide, abortion, euthanasia, and consumption of alcohol. But the polling found that attitudes toward polygamy, divorce, and birth control are more varied.

Religion in politics- Most Muslims want to see the teachings of Islam shape their societies, but the percentage of Muslims who say they want sharia to be “the official law of the land” varies.

Now let’s see what happens when we swap Islam with a different religion…

Morality- Christians around the world overwhelmingly view certain behaviors as immoral, including prostitution, homosexuality, suicide, abortion, euthanasia, and consumption of alcohol. But the polling found that attitudes toward polygamy, divorce, and birth control are more varied.

Religion in politics- Most Christians want to see the teachings of Christianity shape their societies, but the percentage of Christians who say they want the Bible to be “the official law of the land” varies.

Virtually no loss in accuracy between them.

There’s also this interesting note at the end regarding how strongly religious people feel their religion is the so-called “One True Faith”:

But they are in the middle of the pack when it comes to viewing their religion as the one true faith. About 33 percent of US Muslims believe that, similar to historically black Protestant churches (34 percent) and evangelical Protestant churches (36 percent). A higher share of Mormons (56 percent) felt that way, while the level was lower for a number of other faiths. Sixteen percent of Roman Catholics, 12 percent of mainline Protestants, and 5 percent of Jews in the US saw their religion as the one true faith.
