Beliefs belong in church.
Perhaps beliefs need to exist
Some people may be uncomfortable with the notion that God might take sides in war; that God might be induced by prayer to give victory to one side, when that victory almost certainly means the slaughter of soldiers and civilians on the other side, all equally human, all equally deserving of life.My shorthand answer to that, of course, is that if God is not in this war, you had better not be either, that if the idea of a war under God is terrifying, it cant compare in horror to a war in which God is not present.
And that, friend, almost describes the Viet Nam War when seen through a certain lens.

A lot of prayers are needed to bring them back to God.
My guess is that the figures overstate church attendance—people may exaggerate how often they attend to make themselves look better to the pollster.
