FYI - Religion in USA Only rarely are people polled about the importance that religion plays in their life. It is simple to identify oneself as following a particular religion. But that term covers both the devout, sincere believer and the nominal adherent. One source 5 described the results of a 1993 in-depth survey of about 4,000 American adults. They concluded that: 30% are totally secular in outlook 29% are barely or nominally religious 22% are modestly religious 19% regularly practice their religion. 17% are an Atheist or Agnostic. 22% believe that the Bible is inerrant. 40% of adults aged 18 to 29 are unchurched. 47% believe that Jesus engaged in sinful behavior while on earth. 49% reject the God of the Bible (perfect, present, omnipotent, omniscient, creator of the universe). 67% say that Satan is not a living being but a symbol of evil. religioustolerance.org It appears that in fact most Americans are not that religious...certainly not even close to how religious Bush portrays himself, which I guess is the reason for all his coded speeches and his initial "spritual" rather than religious stance. >> the vast majority of Americans are also religious.
