The U.S. is a diverse country, particularly in the faith and beliefs of its citizens. Even with a nearly 80% Christian-identified population, opinions about certain values and social issues vary dramatically.

If Jesus were were alive today and one of the 300,000,000+ Americans weighing in on these social issues, which issues would he support? How would he vote?

YouGov, a non-partisan polling organization, published the results of a survey that asked Americans to weigh in on several critical issues facing the country today -- and then rate how they think Jesus would feel about the same issues. The results highlight an American public often split by religion on hot-button issues but generally more liberal than it believes Jesus would be.

Here is a profile on the social values of Jesus Christ, according to American voters:

1. Jesus would not support gay marriage.



Although 55 percent of Americans support gay marriage, YouGov found that only 32 percent believe Jesus would be in favor of same-sex unions. Of all religious and demographic groups measures, only atheists and agnostics believed by a majority that Jesus would support the issue.
