.@rezaaslan No. It shows that people favor equality until they really begin to think about it & how it impacts them. Then often, they don't.
64% of Egyptians favor death for apostasy. 75% of Egyptians favor full religious freedoms. That contradiction sums up how religion is LIVED.

@rezaaslan many examples w. regular Chrisitans in West. They say they agree with "equality" but when time to implement details change minds

@rezaaslan the follow up question should be what does full religious freedom mean to 75%? -
@TaintedStu yeah good question, which Pew didn't ask unfortunately -
@rezaaslan@TaintedStu but it can be safely deduced it doesn't include freedom to leave islam based on the other question in the same poll
