"WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Protestants' views on moral issues such as abortion, gay and lesbian relations, and premarital sex differ sharply, depending on their denominational affiliation. Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Methodists and Lutherans -- the "mainline" denominations -- are distinctly more liberal on a number of moral issues than are Baptists, Pentecostals and those identifying with nondenominational Protestant groups."

Reckon these poll results could be because of the ones who are in such approval, Episocpal lets say is comprised of those who left the stricter churches? Preacher in the stricter churches preached the word straight from the bible, offended some who didn't like what the bible said so they left for a church/religion that satisfies their needs instead of them satisfying Gods word and requirements.
