I think the only person having a field day with it is you.
Not sure what your real reason is.
Look, I have no agenda other than to look at the data. If the data tells me anything it is this — being religious does not necessarily mean being moral and vice versa.
Jesus Himself condemns the so called religious pharisees.
Therefore, one can hardly use the above stats as basis for arguing that America needs to be more religious. It depends on WHAT KIND of religiosity — CONSISTENT or INCONSISTENT.
I think we just have too many religious Americans who claim they believe in God but act as if they don’t in spite of their religious profession.
I’ll balance my question by making one observation, if you look at the stats, there are 34 states with 60% or over who are religious. That’s 68% of the country. You can’t simply look at Mississippi and make a generalized observation.
