Six in 10 Americans think the U.S. is “blessed” by God, but 79 percent think the country sometimes does more harm than good when it relates to the rest of the world. These are the results of a study by the television program “Religion & Ethics News Weekly” and the United Nations Foundation. Among other findings: 68 percent of people who attend services at least weekly said the country has a moral obligation to take part in world affairs, compared with 54 percent of less frequent attenders, and 67 percent of those with strong beliefs about God’s unique blessing on America said the U.S. has a moral obligation to be a leader in world affairs, as did 72 percent of those who thought the U.S. should set a Christian example.
