There has been a jump in the share of U.S. adults who see the Supreme Court as “friendly” toward religion.

But they hold differing opinions about what that phrase means, and two-thirds of U.S. adults say churches should keep out of politics.

Americans increasingly say gender is determined by one’s sex assigned at birth, but they differ by religion on this and other transgender issues.
