Well, not quite.
[nitpicking]
The margin of error (which, if not specified otherwise, is plus or minus one standard deviation from the average) being plus or minus 5.5% on an average of 57% means that there's about a 68% confidence that the actual value falls between 51.5% and 62.5% . Which doesn't rule out the cases of the actual value being 2%, 63% or 99% ... it just says that those values are a lot less likely.

I already am not fond of America, if they have Christianity as a national religion, then I'm out.
We should exterminate everyone who voted yes in that poll, for the good of mankind's sanity.

Er, I would guess that the documents which serve as foundation of the US are the Constitution (and the "Bill of Rights" is a collection of amendments to that document) and the Declaration of Independence...

of darkness with mystically brutal fury to dim the serene and festive exultation of the dionysian spirit of our pagan ancestors."

Republicans often oppose gun control, for a well-known example, on the context that it would be unconstitutional even though the constitution can be amended. Demanding a law which goes against the constitution has been previously regarded by Republicans as unconstitutional and something regarded as such has been deemed undesirable by Republicans. In fact, Republicans have actively argued against amending the constitution in the past and in the present in order to preserve the wishers of the founders. Now, we have 57% of Republicans according to this poll, demanding a law which goes against the constitution in it's current form. My point is that this indicated hypocrisy within the GOP. Would you agree?
I would agree, (as I was merely splitting hairs, and even though they are arguing against laws, not amendments((they would reject the Amendment on principle, not on grounds of unconstitutionality))) but I would be insistent to acknowledge that hypocrisy is hardly unique to the Republican party. After all 43% of Democrats think the President should be able to override the SCOTUS. So yes I agree, but in context.
EDIT: Important, IMHO, to note that the article didn't mention how this end would be accomplished. The poll asked if they supported making it the National Religion, and the article assumes it would be via a Law. I'd be willing to suggest that at least some of those respondents understood how that end would come to be via Amendment, Though my faith in Republican Voters is possibly misplaced.
