Americans religious, but not about the details

A survey from the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life has some interesting findings:

  • Most American (92%) believe in God and 58% pray every day
  • Three in ten Americans profess no religious identity, but sometimes go to church
  • Overall 78% say there are “absolute standards of right and wrong,” but only 29% rely on their religion to set those standards out
  • The report concludes that we are a nation of “free-flowing spirituality.”

Doesn’t always feel that way in my line of work … but it’s nice to know the spirituality is free-flowing.
