Half the Church 
There is an overall edifying and hope-filled undercurrent in these voices. I hear the uncertainty and non-committal voices that could as well have been a first-century apostolic epistle. The heritage of conservatism, doctrine or culture for acclaim or blame by the survey participants are familiar buzz words. Of course, a good deal of these replies would be easy copy-paste for a multitude of other questions.
I hear these voices in other fronts where I interact in lively online discussions. They are the voices of brothers and sisters in Christ who chirp weakly with some measure of conviction but even less understanding to the rapid-fire not from their brethren about gender equality, but Muslims on Jesus the Son of God.
It would be interesting to hear your roaming man-on-the-street mic would pick up at lectureship (or whatever is the term in vogue these days), youth rally, leadership camp or even interviewing willing participants at a local congregation.
