Results of a survey, split out by religion (10 groups), where Americans answer how strongly they agreed with two statements:
- "Empathy is a foundational moral value that helps build a healthy society", and
- "Empathy can become dangerous when it leads people away from building a society guided by God's truth".
The top 4 groups most likely to agree with (1) and least likely to agree with (2) were, in order (1 vs. 2): Unaffiliated (83% vs. 13%), Other non-Christian religion (80% vs. 18%), Jewish (77% vs. 23%), and White mainline non-evangelical Protestant (73% vs. 25%).
The least likely to agree with (1) and most likely to agree with (2), by far, was White evangelical Protestant (42% vs. 44%).
