Americans and Religion

[Munkay]

I recently stumbled upon this article.

Is this a view any of the american posters here can recognize?

Is it really all the surprising?

Most people believe in some kind of spirituality. Most of the major organized religions believe in a higher spiritual/supernatural power, while a few others in a combining "force". People outside of organized religions often believe in some sort of supernatural/spiritual phenomena.

It's easy to fall into a debate about the reasons why humans believe in something supernatural, and perhaps it's something that will come about in this thread. But, the bigger issue is regardless of motivations behind it, a belief in spiritual/supernatural powers is very common. And anytime you have an odd duck out, people tend to dislike/disassociate with it.

Cheers,
