What Do Americans Really Believe?
Are mega-churches more intimate than small congregations? Are atheists more superstitious or likely to believe in the paranormal than conservative Christians? Do many Americans believe some “non-religious” people are going to heaven? Are Evangelicals slightly less politically active than other Americans? Has the percentage of atheists in America remained the same since 1944? The answers to all of these questions may very well be…yes.
