(SRN NEWS)-According to a new poll from the Pew Research Center, only 57% of adults believe that the country’s religious leaders will act in the best interests of the public.  That’s down from 63% five years ago.  By contrast, 75% of Americans think the military will act in the best interests of the public, 77% feel the same about scientists and 70% believe this about the police.  At the BOTTOM of the charts?  Elected officials — just 27% think they’ll do any good.
