What if America’s religious decline has been overstated?

“Most polls do not ask follow-up questions about a person’s religious identity. When they do ask Nones about their specific beliefs, however, we see that they overwhelmingly believe in God (or a ‘higher power’), and they think people have souls.” - CPost

NewFirst Article Good, Second Article (Relevant) Confusing

Wed, 09/02/26

The first article makes a case that the way we read statistics is flawed. The second article is poorly written and I am not sure what the author is saying, really. First one is a good read: “nones” are not necessary atheists or agnostics, and may even be attending an evangelical church!
