I don't know about the numbers here, but I also didn't know about the Witnesses and Amish. I Googled it up before repeating. It's true. They don't "respect" the flag.
“The flag is fine, but we’re the only nation that worships the flag. It’s very heathen. The kingdom we live in, we pledge our allegiance to God, not the flag.”
That’s a quote from an Amishman in the PBS film “The Amish”.
Amish America
Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that bowing down to a flag or saluting it, often in conjunction with an anthem, is a religious act that ascribes salvation, not to God, but to the State or to its leaders.

Of course, in the Bible Belt, Jehovah's Witnesses and Amish are susceptible to denigration as well as blacks, but with less rancor.
Donald Trump worships Donald Trump. Period.
