Gallup, 1999 <http://www.galluppoll.com:/content/Default.aspx? ci=3979&pg=1&t=PO8.%2fdCJcs8zl5yO%2fNNwqlIQtDzqqp7sq7-Y2-A0xj.EfG- tqpnCF3EMpYmot.rmItng%2f%2fWipSWz4bcWLKl2gysBnB5TcD96CcdWJliT. 0GsQETz06bBFAn.%2fqlCOw1IFHgFG1CYsGFLeIfbOxdSirCGhMX5ouGl>:

Would not vote for an atheist: 48%. ...a homosexual: 37%. ...a Mormon: 17%. ...a woman: 7%. ...a Jew: 6%. ...a black, Baptist, or a Catholic: 4%.

These are all way down from higher numbers decades ago - the atheist fig was over 70% in the late 1950s.
