Quit bragging, we are working as hard as we can to get things straight. I just hate that everywhere people think with their heads seems to get sooooo cold.

Looking at the thread I noted nobody mentioned how high the people who said religion did not play a part in their daily life was. I think the 34% is an impressive number. I know some will scream it dose not reflect they are all atheist, but it sure reflects 34% have done some thinking on religion, truth, and myths.

Had the question in that survey substituted "Jesus" for the word "Religion", then Kentucky unquestionably would have been at the top.
Interesting way to look at it. You may be on to something.

Religion in Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Interesting how people still feel they are spiritual even though they have rejected what I assume most would be thinking of which is the God of the Bible.

Bears out what was said about Sweden.

And from a Brit in Missouri, less of the Missouri bashing! I would rather live here than Kansas, Iowa or Nebraska from what Ive seen of them.
