More than half of people who attend services at least once a week --  
54 percent -- said the use of torture against suspected terrorists is  
"often" or "sometimes" justified. Only 42 percent of people who  
"seldom or never" go to services agreed, according the analysis  
released Wednesday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.
White evangelical Protestants were the religious group most likely to  
say torture is often or sometimes justified -- more than six in 10  
supported it. People unaffiliated with any religious organization were  
least likely to back it. Only four in 10 of them did.
