(Before It's News)

Only about a third of Americans know what religion Barack Obama practices, a new survey finds.

In a new poll by Gallup, 34 percent of Americans correctly pegged the president's faith as Christian. Eleven percent said he is Muslim, and 44 percent said they didn't know. (Another 8 percent said he is not religious, and 2 percent believed he is Catholic, a Christian faith.)

The results follow on the heels of another Gallup analysis that found 57 percent of Americans know that Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney is a Mormon. About 17 percent of people in that poll said they would not vote for a Mormon for president.

 

Obama has attended services at several Christian churches in Washington, D.C. Before winning the presidency, he and his family attended the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.

Knowledge of Obama's religion is stronger among Democrats, 52 percent of whom correctly said he is a Christian. Only 24 percent of Republicans said the same. Republicans were also more likely to say that Obama is a Muslim, with 18 percent saying so compared with only 3 percent of Democrats.
