Most Of Americans Believe Global Poverty As Spiritual Problem!

As the world gets aware of global issues, most of them become conscious of solutions to these problems for the coming generations. Americans believe in quality of life. A survey published earlier showed that Americans are willing to pay more for greener environment around their living area.

The University of Maryland study shows that most of the Americans who believe in God favors cooperative international efforts to combat climate change and the spread of nuclear weapons. Study also shows that Americans believe that fighting global poverty is a spiritual obligation.

Study was conducted on 1,500 Americans which included large numbers of Catholics and Evangelicals.

John Steinbruner public policy professor at University of Maryland and study co-author says
“This research challenges common political stereotypes that pigeonhole religious Americans as liberal or conservative on environmental and nuclear proliferation issues. These findings demonstrate the public’s strong moral impulse to address global policy challenges—an impulse that if applied properly could break the current impasse on these issues.”

Though most believers in the study do not consider addressing environmental and nuclear risks to be spiritual obligations, they do understand these issues as a part of “good stewardship,” the study finds.
