In response to a survey about national security and civil liberties in light of terror attacks, a group of notable evangelicals are rejecting a view of religious freedom that prioritizes Christians over other groups.

According to the latest poll from the Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research out the University of Chicago, the vast majority of Americans agree that it's important to protect the freedom of religion for various religious groups in the United States.

Yet "while 82 percent of Americans say it is very or extremely important that Christians
are allowed to practice their religion freely in the United States, just 61 percent say the same about protecting religious freedom for Muslims."
