How Many Americans Believe in God?

Religion What is your take on religion? Do you base your thoughts in life according to your religion? Do you feel that religion should be kept out of Government and Politics?

Hmmmmm



Pretty close. Maybe minus Minnesota.

But that image does perhaps dispel some myths about the religiosity of America.

Interesting - the tiny little "religious pocket" in south west Alaska is intriguing, too!

Still, I expected the Deep South to be far reddder...

Me too. And I live here.

I do know quite a few other heathens like myself but I think there are a lot more of us here than I knew.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this. That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

This forum has become very anti-God and cruel towards Christianity in general. I have had enough of it and will not be apart of it any longer.

God bless.

You'd be surprised, even here in the North. I visited Scranton a few months ago and it's like walking through a less classy version of Vatican City. It's a nice town, but it's so catholic!

I made it a game down there to see how many Jesus fish I could spot on peoples' cars.

I'm a Christian - I don't feel that the forum is cruel towards Christians - though many of us have a problem with right wing Christian extremists.
Just think how lucky you are that you're not gay and have to endure the insults from the anti-gay crowd!

I have one on my car as well, although it is a window decal.
