Evangelicals are the most likely of all Christians to believe that "there will be plenty of good food to eat" in heaven, according to a new Newsweek poll.
56% of evangelicals expect to have good food in the heavenly afterlife, compared with 47% of all Christians. And in contrast to Catholics and other Protestants, evangelicals are more likely to see heaven as a place with material comforts where people will be recognizable as their earthly forms.
The poll of 1,000 adults, in the August 13th edition of Newsweek, shows that about 40% of all three groups don't know what heaven looks like, but Catholic and other Protestants tend to see it as a garden, while evangelicals envision it as a city.
