The country with "In God We Trust" written on their money? The country that rewrote their Pledge Of Allegiance to include "One Nation Under God"?

Are you telling me that the majority of that country actually believe in a God?!

The US is one of the most fundamentally religious countries in the world. Why are you surprised by this?

ScumLord · 03-06-2011 04:07PM

I think being an American and being Chritian have become intertwined in the US, just like Ireland was a Catholic country.

With Americas war against Islam I think many Americans like being on the oposing religion as more than they actually know and believe their Christian.

I'd say many no more live a Christian life than the man on the moon but have "I'm a Christian" burnt into their psyche and boosted by their patriotism religious fundamentalism has gone into overdrive now that they think America is under attack. .

Whats the problem if they do? Plenty of people continue to believe, and i am sure many more will until they are proven otherwise.

Everybody is entitled to their belief, as long as they arent ramming their opinion down my throat im fine with people believing whatever they want to, for the record yes i still continue to believe in God.

robinph · 03-06-2011 04:12PM

"Do you believe in God?" = 92%
"Do you believe in God or a universal spirit?" = 91%

How do less people believe in any type god than the number that believe in god?

Aaaaand why do you assume everyone on the Poll was Christian? Or from another mainstream religion for that matter. Just yesterday someone was telling me all about the Conversations with God thing, which, doesnt really have a whole lot to do with Christianity.

Kevin Duffy · 03-06-2011 04:29PM

But does God believe in Americans?

True, God is a very general term in America.

But the white Christian America seems to have made religion and country the same thing.

That's a very good point, and now you have me thinking that maybe that explains the US's fascination with Ireland. So many in the US seem to want to live in a (somewhat) Christian theocracy (since as you said most don't seem to know very much about the religion to start with).

Thanks to the political divide in the country and to a small part 9/11, religion is worn like a boy scout badge in America.

....at the end of the day, it doesn't really mean anything.

Ruu_Old · 03-06-2011 04:35PM

I believe in rock and roll.

Wouldn't 10 out of ten Americans have to believe in God for it to be more than 9 out of ten Americans believe in God....this thread is illogical.

It's a blessed mystery, don't try to understand it. Just send us $10 and we'll pray for you to be saved.

You can quantify Americans.....

DrHLecter · 03-06-2011 06:21PM

everyone who experiences life has a consciousness/sentience/emotion/spirit so the 92% probably deduce that theres more than the material world and associate this with the term god

WindSock · 03-06-2011 06:35PM

More than 9 out of 10 athiests continue to have a superiority complex.

Saila · 03-06-2011 06:39PM
