This was a Gallup poll article from this morning. The breakdown by age, party, educational level, and flavor of Christianity is interesting. I also thought it was flawed in that they did not include non-Christians (other than the "none" religion category) like Muslim, Jewish, etc.

The poll's consensus was that we'd be better off with more religion. Your thoughts?

"65%, down from 75%, say more religious people would be positive for U.S.
  • More in U.S. now believe government policies influence moral values
  • Public is divided on whether government should promote values"
I think this country would be better off if people actually followed their proclaimed religion before they start telling other people its morals. In this country, Christianity is so perverted by politics and money that it makes me nauseous. Religion has no place in secular governance either.
 
A country where its citizens are free to practice whatever religion they want, or no religion, as long as it harms none, is the ideal IMO. And by "harm" I mean inserting their beliefs into the laws and legislation that govern us all. Examples of harm might be banning abortion, banning alcohol, forcing the teaching of intelligent design in public schools, forced attendance at prayers/services in public school, mandating equal federal funding of Christian schools compared to public schools. (Or any other private religious schools.)

Unfortunately this isn't that country. So IMO less religion of the public sort would be better.

It's not the government's job to promote values (or religion for that matter). And count me in the 35% "no" group.
