The truth about religion

americans don't have no culture but thank god america has a bigger % of christians than any european country and they're more pious than europeans as well. i don't think americans do believe the existence of god, or an invisible flying man who created the whole world, but americans share the common belief in human goodness and rightfulness imho. america has been the world's most powerful country for well more than a century but you never saw americans bullying other countries or abusing their wealth like the soulless yellow s do. god and christianity are just a symble or totem of american spirit in modern time imho

Religion keeps of surviving because parents brainwash their children. You cannot deny that is the main way religion gets followers. But since you didn't address the point I guess you're like Avante and really have no comeback

One of the tenets of religion is almost always faith. I think too many people are worried about theirs and their pastor's interpretation of the Bible (mainly, here in the USA) and not enough about realizing the glory of God's creation. I think that's the main thing that sort of, tripped the wire for me in terms of crossing over from creationist to, well, informed.

It would be ok if you said "my view" on religion, another view on religion, a popular view on religion, but "religion" shouldn't be confused with Christianity. Evolution is a religion, not to mention the 100s of other religions that don't even support the Bible or Jesus.

Its like if the topic was "the Truth about Music" and the cartoon had two people talking about Rap some may not consider rap Music.

I just think saying "the truth" about religion was misleading so I pointed it out. If that got your kangaroo knickers all twisted relax put another shrimp on the barbie and drink another Foster

Texans do.

Religion serves its purpose just as Santa Claus and the tooth fairy do, except for adults who aren't ready to grow up and accept the real world.

Nearly 33 million Americans not affiliated with religion, but believe in God

the growing trend seems to be more prevalent with younger Americans, with one third of American adults under the age of 30 saying they are not currently affiliated with a specificreligion. Despite the increase in Americans with no religious affiliations, only 6 percent of American adults claim to be atheist or agnostic, suggesting that the lack of affiliation with organized religion should not be confused with lack of belief in God.

In fact, of the 30 million Americans who claim no religious affiliations, 68 percent claim to believe in the existence of God, while 37 percent claim to be spiritual and 21 percent say they pray every day.

Many who fail to affiliate with a specific religion say they believe organized religion is too focused on money, power and rules and becomes too involved in politics.

No. If you travel to any modern country other than America such as Japan, Germany, Sweden, Canada, France, Britain, or Italy, you'll see secular countries that aren't controlled by dogma and a book of fairytales like America is.

It's amazing how people just make up about other countries compared to America.

What is amazing is how Jews and Arabs kill each other over religion - so they are both equally brainwashed and stupid.

What amazes me even more is how Americans are brainwashed into thinking Israel has never done anything wrong and the Jews are completely innocent.

agreed

Its different here. Australians are brainwashed into thinking Israeli's are virtually the devil

america has no religion, no belief, no faith..

That's so far from the truth, it's not even funny, tbh..... Bible-thumping, intolerant Jeebo s still dominate the American political sphere....

That's not brainwashing, that's just the truth. Benjamin Netanyahu is an evil human being who would commit acts of genocide against the Palestinian people if he was allowed.

Tbh he's probably one of those people who say, "This country went to because it lost its Christian values!" trying to insinuate that a tiny rise in atheism in recent years is somehow related to the collapse of America's economy.

Israeli's aren't perfect but they are continuously made out to be the only party doing anything wrong in the middle east and that's just a joke. Jews been targeted for thousands of years, I don't blame them for striking back hard when they are attacked, they are surrounded by enemies..

[Edward]

They're the party doing most of the wrong stuff these days. Prior to Netanyahu they weren't nearly as bad but the reason the world's animosity towards Israel is so high right now is because of Netanyahu's policy.

Funny, because in most of the European countries that I went to, religion wasn't a big deal at all. Heck the entire year that I lived in germany I met one girl who went to church and the way she described it to me was that it was more of an organized social gathering than a worship service.

America, THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT, not Americans, who remain free to believe any old , and they do.
