A new nationwide survey from The Barna Group found a majority of Americans believe the Christian faith has made positive contributions to American society in the last few years, including assistance to the poor or underprivileged. However, according to the report, 11 percent said Christianity "had not made any positive contributions to the United States," and more than half cited negative contributions including "violence or hatred in the name of Jesus Christ," opposition to gay marriage, involvement in politics and sexual abuse scandals.
