One state, two state, red state, blue state:

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12 There has been a decidedly fundamentalist religious shift in U.S. public opinion in the annual "State of the First Amendment" report published Wednesday.

The poll by the First Amendment Center found 65 percent of people said they believe the country's founders intended the United States to be a Christian nation and 55 percent said they believe the Constitution establishes a Christian nation.

The right to practice one's own religion was ranked "essential" or "important" by 97 percent of respondents but just 56 percent believe the freedom to worship as one chooses extends to all religious groups, regardless of how extreme. That's a drop of 16 points from 72 percent in 2000, the center said.

The center's senior scholar, Charles Haynes, said there's some misconceptions obvious in the results.

"The strong support for official recognition of the majority faith appears to be grounded in a belief that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, in spite of the fact that the Constitution nowhere mentions God or Christianity," Haynes said.

The survey of 1,003 respondents was conducted by telephone Aug. 16-26 and the results have a 3.2 percentage-point margin of error.
