If Jesus were in his tomb he'd be rolling over in it

New survey results:

The more often Americans go to church, the more likely they are to support the torture of suspected terrorists, according to a new survey.

More than half of people who attend services at least once a week -- 54 percent -- said the use of torture against suspected terrorists is "often" or "sometimes" justified. Only 42 percent of people who "seldom or never" go to services agreed, according to the analysis released Wednesday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.

White evangelical Protestants were the religious group most likely to say torture is often or sometimes justified -- more than six in 10 supported it. People unaffiliated with any religious organization were least likely to back it. Only four in 10 of them did.

Yes, most terrorism suspects are Muslim, and yes, Christians did launch the Crusades against Muslims 1000 years ago. But in a broad sense, supporting torture seems about 180 degrees from the basic tenets of Christianity.

At least one Christian group, however, is sticking to its moral guns:

The religious group most likely to say torture is never justified was Protestant denominations -- such as Episcopalians, Lutherans and Presbyterians -- categorized as "mainline" Protestants, in contrast to evangelicals.

Why are evangelicals likely to support torture? Could it be because modern American evangelical Christianity is dominated by Southern Baptism and its offshoots? And that the Southern Baptist Diocese mainly uses Christianity as a cover for tribalism and racial-nationalism?

Yes. Yes it could.
