 Studies, like public polling with skewed or improperly worded questions, are devices more often than not skewed towards a particular agenda.
Notwithstanding, no study would substantiate the patent hypocritical position to allow or proliferate a "religious" display without allowing EQUAL ACCESS to do the same for "non-religious" displays.
The 1st Amendment of our Constitution protects both points of view...which is an undisputable LEGAL FACT! Though not popular socially...as clearly represented even within this small microcosm of humanity/society, it is nonetheless a FACT! 
To argue or defend otherwise is prima facie foolish...
