A new Pew Research Center survey finds about 60% of Americans support teacher-led prayer in some form, and 50% favor displaying the Ten Commandments in public schools. Only 8% believe participation should be mandatory; the vast majority prefer voluntary involvement. Support is notably higher among Republicans, those over 50, and residents of the South and Midwest. These attitudes emerge as states like Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas pass laws requiring the Ten Commandments in classrooms, with a Texas law upheld by the Fifth Circuit in April.
