Graphic of religions in the United States

[donheff]

I can't look at the graph since I am traveling with an iPad but, although I agree that the US is very religious, I take the 4 percent atheist/agnostic number with a large grain of salt. A lot of people who self report as in the religion they were born in never see the inside of a church and are non-believers or highly skeptical if you talk to them at any length.

Likely true, however if we once had a faith, it is often there for us when we may need comforting.

I am thinking that my former objections are quite unimportant relative to need. We, including me, live too much of our lives locked in our heads.

Everylady, many thanks for the recommendation of the Colin Woodward book. This is a topic that really interests me and I'll definitely check it out.

Fascinating analysis.
