Americans losing confidence in religious institutuons

Americans are losing confidence in religious institutions. The article cites corruption and political involvement as two main causes.


The article I linked to below says that when people choose to unaffiliate themselves with a religious institution they often remain unaffiliated..

This article (link below) says that even though confidence in religion has decreased people report religion is still important in their lives.

I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
