(CNSNews.com) Black Americans are the most religious in the United States, according to a newly released Gallup Poll.
In a daily tracking survey released July 1, Gallup found that 53 percent of black Americans were identified as being very religious, with 33 percent saying they were moderately religious.
That stands in contrast to the 39 percent of white Americans who said they were very religious and the 26 percent who said they were moderately religious.
Only 13 percent of blacks said they were nonreligious, versus 34 percent of whites.

To be fair I've also met White and Latina women of the same bent...single mom to 3 kids of three different fathers, claiming to be such good Christian women.
I'm not saying people can't make mistakes, or can't convert after living a less than perfect lifestyle, but there is a specific pattern to that “type” you describe.
Being “religious” counts for nothing if the First Commandent is “Hate Whitey”, and the Second is “Kill all the Crackers”.
I'm not Catholic but I'd pay to attend that service.
I attended a 90% "black" church a few years ago....And many folks there..were just there because of they wanted to be "seen", tradition, family, habit, looking for a spouse, and or a date.
Frankly many people of all colors exhibit the same nature.
Pretty much agree with that....and have pointed that out to some Dem’s...that claim to be Christian.
Followers of Islam are also very religious, as evidenced by how much they love cutting peoples heads off and blowing up children. If they had an actual relationship with the God of Heaven, we would see a different behavior.
If there were any truth to this, abortion and the gay agenda alone would destroy the Democratic Party so I sincerely doubt they take religion too seriously.
The dress up is really for the trip to the local eatery afterward. ‘Round here, it’s Golden Corral and it lasts from lunch till dinner because the manager doesn’t have the nerve to make them leave. They call it the Sunday twofer......lunch and dinner for the price of lunch.
Yes look at the ,reverend\s Wright, the right kind of racist, for that Kenyan Rat.
I worked with a real down to earth, management level, black lady years ago. She told me you could always tell a baptist minister was tending his flock. He’d come out of the house either pickin’ his teeth or pullin’ up his pants.
I ‘bout $hit laughfin’.... she was serious.
LOL...sounds about right!
