Most Americans don't blame God for natural disasters according to a poll taken since the disaster in Japan.

The one exception to this pattern is found among white evangelical Protestants. 

Nearly 6-in-10 (59%) white evangelicals also believe that natural disasters are a sign from God. Only about one-third of Catholics (31%) and white mainline Protestants (34%) believe natural disasters are a sign from God.

A majority (53%) of white evangelicals believe that God punishes nations for the sins of its citizens--a view held by just 1-in-5 white mainline Protestants and Catholics.

67% of Evangelicals and 52% of Republicans see catastrophic events as a sign of the Biblical "End of Days."
