During the time I spent in England, a lot of folks told me that World War II basically destroyed the faith of most Christians in Europe and Britian. That is probably why most people born before WWII are still religious and most after are not. There has been a steady decline of faith over there ever since that watershed event.

Older people tend to be more religious. I wonder how many of the young folks will “find god” as they age.

I don't think there is a single issue that more than 50% truly care about. Not that there's anything wrong with that here; I think it's good that people aren't worrying themselves about imagined entities. I'm an apathy sympathizer.

Thanks, Blair, you asshat. It’s a shame that we have the creationist types given a free reign in schools, though.
