Americans and Religion
My dad writes: “For fundamentalists who worry about secularization: hardly worth your time or energy. For you secularists, boy, are you in a minority!” From Barbara King’s Evolving God: A Provocative View on the Origins of Religion:
- 90% of American adults believe in God
- 84% believe in the survival of the soul after death
- 84% believe in miracles
- 82% believe in heaven
- 69% believe in hell
- 68% believe in the devil
