A shortie blog today:
Over at the portal, IWON, they have a daily survey one may take. After answering the 4-5 questions, you can see the results. Today the topic was Spirituality.
The first question was:
How often do you go to church?
Here are the results:
Go to church daily-1%
Go to church several times a week-5%
Go to church weekly-15%
Go to church a few times a month-6%
Go to church monthly-2%
Go to church a few times a year-19%
Go to church yearly-5%
Go to church only on important religious holidays-6%
Not sure-5%
I don't care-1%
And now for the real shocker:
Never go to church-34%
Methinks this might not be a Christian country after all....and perhaps the church has its work cut out for it....maybe ya think?

I guess I'm in the never go TO church %because I have come to believe we ARE the church where ever we are united with our brothers and sisters; even on the internet which has been a life-saver for me the last few years. I miss the idea of going TO church and finding the real thing.
Hey Diane - Jollyblogger again. And to stir the pot a little more my guess is that, throughout the history of our country the statistics of people going to church have been similar to what you see here more often than they have been high. I'm not sure where to go to document this but a few years ago I heard someone say that, at the time of the American Revolution, only about 4% of Americans went to church. I could be off on the number there, but it was a very small number. Kind of puts a little more kibosh on the idea of us being a Christian nation, doesn't it?
