Oh absolutely - the most bandied about recently was the ground zero mosque. As a great post on DailyKos pointed out.. these four questions are in a spectrum depending on what you want to 'prove'.

As you may know, a group of Muslims in the U.S. plan to build a mosque two blocks from the site in New York City where the World Trade Center used to stand. Do you favor or oppose this plan?

Do you believe the New York City government should forbid American Muslims from building a private house of worship anywhere in the vicinity of where the World Trade Center used to stand?

Do you believe that every religious group, including the American Muslims building a house of worship two blocks from where the World Trade Center used to stand, deserves the same protection from the First Amendment's protection of religious liberty?

Should the government control who builds houses of worship and where they're located?

Choose the first one if you're looking for condemnation, choose the latter if you're looking for support. The first question got 68% of Americans saying they didn't support the mosque. I imagine the last would get something like 70% supporting religious freedom.
Polls are garbage, unless they demonstrate my point, in which case I'll kindly omit the fact that I think the poll is garbage.
