Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

2/3 think being extremely rich is not a moral issue,
and almost 2/3 think homosexuality is.

This stood out to me as well. We might be fucked

40% is closer to 1/3 than 2/3, but your point still stands. The fact that 40 think homosexuality is morally wrong is nuts. It's that damn religion thing.

I wasn't talking about the "morally wrong" statistic.
Only 37% rightfully think it's not a question of morality at all (because WHY WOULD IT BE? It's not a choice you can make!).
So 63% think it is a question of morals, which is what I meant by "almost 2/3".

I mean, some people think that pineapple on pizza is morally wrong. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Appreciate your clarification, and I probably agree with you.
