They favor a robust role for religion in public life and a smaller role for government in society, and they hold that a strong American military is essential in international affairs. They overwhelmingly identify with the GOP and remain strong supporters of former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than four-in-ten are White evangelical Protestants, the highest share of any political typology group. Faith and Flag Conservatives are more likely than those in other groups to emphasize the importance of religion in their lives and to hold restrictive attitudes on abortion and same-sex marriage; they are the sole group in which a majority (67%) say same-sex marriage being legal is bad for the country. They are also the only group in which a majority (58%) favors allowing public school teachers to lead students in Christian prayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three-quarters of Faith and Flag Conservatives say that the best way to ensure peace is through military strength rather than through diplomatic means, by far the highest share of any group saying this. They are one of only two groups, alongside Populist Right, in which a majority favor increasing the size of America\u2019s military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faith and Flag Conservatives are the most likely to say that White people benefit \u201cnot at all\u201d from advantages in society that Black people don\u2019t have, and they are much more likely to say that there is a lot of discrimination against White people in our society today than they are to say the same of discrimination against Black people. About six-in-ten (63%) say that \u201cincreased public attention to the history of slavery and racism in America\u201d is bad for our society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faith and Flag Conservatives are the oldest typology group, with a median age of 57.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump enjoys stronger support from Faith and Flag Conservatives than from nearly any other typology group. They nearly unanimously voted for him in 2020, and a majority say that he was a great president. Roughly half say that he definitelyreceived the most votes cast by eligible voters in enough states to win the 2020 presidential election (86% say Trump at least probably won the 2020 election). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/biden-electoral-college-majority-certified-states\/\"><em>Official counts show<\/em><\/a><em> that Biden received the most votes cast by eligible voters in enough states to win.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About eight-in-ten (83%) in this group say they would like Trump to remain a major national figure for many years to come, with a majority (55%) wanting him to run for president again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;political-affiliation-voting-and-engagement&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-prc-block-chapter wp-block-heading\" id=\"political-affiliation-voting-and-engagement\">Political affiliation, voting and engagement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2021\/11\/09\/faith-and-flag-conservatives\/pp_2021-11-09_political-typology_03-02-png\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-58756\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f1ebeb\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f1ebeb;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_03-02.png?resize=480,186 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_03-02.png?resize=782,303 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_03-02.png?resize=960,372 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_03-02.png?resize=1200,465 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_03-02.png?resize=1280,496 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"248\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_03-02.png?w=640\" alt=\"Chart shows about six-in-ten Faith and Flag Conservatives are \u2018strong\u2019 Republicans\" class=\"wp-image-58756 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost all Faith and Flag Conservatives (97%) either identify as Republicans (74%) or lean toward the Republican Party (23%).

About three-quarters (77%) say that cities and towns should be allowed to place religious symbols on public property. A similar share (75%) say government policies should support religious values (the only typology group in which a majority says this). And 83% say the decline in the share of Americans belonging to an organized religion is bad for society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2021\/11\/09\/faith-and-flag-conservatives\/pp_2021-11-09_political-typology_03-05-png\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-58765\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f6f5f5\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f6f5f5;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_03-05.png?resize=480,473 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_03-05.png?resize=782,770 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_03-05.png?resize=960,945 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_03-05.png?resize=1200,1181 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_03-05.png?resize=1280,1260 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"630\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/11\/PP_2021.11.09_political-typology_03-05.png?w=640\" alt=\"Chart shows Faith and Flag Conservatives: Very conservative on almost every issue\" class=\"wp-image-58765 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They diverge from other Republican-oriented groups on several issues.

Large shares of Faith and Flag Conservatives assert that Trump was either definitely or probably the legitimate winner of the 2020 presidential election, despite official counts showing Biden legitimately won the election: 53% say that Trump definitely received the most votes cast by eligible voters in enough states to win the election, and another 34% say that he probably did.
