How religion defines America

By Dr Richard Land
Southern Baptist Convention
Unlike some other Western countries, the United States remains an
overwhelmingly religious society. The BBC programme What the World Thinks of
God examines the modern world's relationship with God. Among those taking
part is Dr Richard Land who explains how profoundly religion influences
American society and politics.
The USA is a very religious society. Evidence abounds demonstrating
Americans' deep and abiding religious convictions.
A Gallup Poll released in November 2003 found that six out of ten Americans
said that religion was "very important" in their lives.
FAITH IN AMERICA
Protestant (White Evangelical) 30%
Roman Catholics 25%
Protestant (Liberal) 20%
Protestant (African-American) 8%
Jewish 2%
Other 15%
Source: City University of New York (2001)

In contrast, in Canada and the United Kingdom, two societies often perceived
as quite similar to the United States, only 28% and 17% respectively
described religion as similarly important in their lives.
A survey done in 2001 by the City University of New York Graduate Center
found that 85% of Americans identify with some religious faith.
The same study concluded that by most standards the United States was a more
professingly religious country than any European nations except Ireland and
Poland.
Conservative belief

Most Americans believe in the literal truth of Old Testament stories
The religious convictions of Americans tend toward the conservative end of
the spectrum.
An ABC news poll, done in February 2004, found that approximately 60% of
Americans believe that the Genesis creation account, Noah's ark and a global
flood, and Moses' parting of the Red Sea are "literally true."
Belief in the literal veracity of these biblical accounts was highest among
the fastest growing segment of American faith, evangelical Protestantism
(nearly 90% acceptance).
How does such robust religious faith impact and influence American
government and the nation's domestic and foreign policies?
Religious vote
An ABC news exit poll taken on Election Day 2000 found that among the 42% of
voters who attended religious services at least once a week, 58% voted for
Bush.
Conversely, Gore won 61% among the 14% of Americans who reported they never
attended religious services.

Perhaps 40% of President Bush's total raw vote was provided by
self-identified "evangelical" Christians
Dr Richard Land
It is difficult to imagine the United States electing a candidate with the
beliefs and policies of a George W. Bush, or for that matter a Ronald
Reagan, without the strong role an increasingly conservative faith plays in
tens of millions of Americans' lives.
Some estimates conclude that perhaps 40% of President Bush's total raw vote
was provided by self-identified "evangelical" Christians.
Religion and society
How does this deep and abiding religious belief impact American society?
According to an ICM poll in January 2004, Americans believe in the
supernatural (91%), an afterlife (74%), "belief in a God/higher power makes
you a better human being" (82%), God or a higher power judged their actions
(76%), and perhaps most tellingly "would die for their God/beliefs" (71%).
In 1880 Dostoyevsky wrote in The Brothers Karamazov that "If God does not
exist, then everything is permissible."
The history of his native Russia, wracked by the atrocities of atheistic
communism for most of the 20th century, serves as a most graphic example of
the truth of his conclusion.
Nazism, above all detested religion because it called for allegiance to
something greater than the state, namely God.

President Bush at the opening of a Bible fellowship centre in Texas
When 71% of Americans say they would die for their faith, they are pledging
allegiance to a loyalty beyond their loyalty to their country and are saying
the exact polar opposite of "my country, right or wrong."
It is very important at this point to make a critical distinction: to be
willing to die for one's faith is utterly different than to kill for it.
The overwhelming majority of Americans, religious and otherwise, would never
feel that it is morally acceptable to kill, or even discriminate against,
someone because they were of a differing faith or no faith.
As an evangelical Christian, I would not only die for my faith, I would die
for any person's right to live their lives according to the dictates of
their own consciences.
My personal commitment to the soul liberty of every human being is as deep
as my commitment to Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord.
Like virtually all Americans of faith, I believe that a person's
relationship to his or her God is a sacred matter which no other human being
or group of human beings (government or religious communion) has the right
to forcibly interfere with or seek to coerce.
As an evangelical Christian I believe in the right to share my faith and to
seek to persuade others, as they have an equal right to seek to persuade me,
but force or coercion - never!

Ok, I'll give you a serious reply. I'm an agnostic who feels that
organized religion is detrimental to mankind.

Without any intention of proselytizing, have you read anything of
Abelard Reuchlin, who propagated the thesis that the new testament
is a hoax created by the Roman government under the guidance of
one Arius Piso, to implement political-control-by-superstitious fear?
(vid. Abelard Reuchlin, Abelard Reuchlin Foundation, etc.)
Reuchlin comes to the remarkable and fascinating conclusion that despite
being a hoax, the church is fundamental to western civilization, that only
a very small minority of humans in the west are innately moral and naturally
"righteous", the vast majority are utterly depraved degenerate barbarians
by nature, and would be literally eating each other in the stew pot if not for
primal _fear_ of the Christian message, the _fear_ that it _might_ be true.
I don't necessarily agree or disagree, but it is quite a different angle on the
whole thing, food for thought.

Ok, I'll give you a serious reply. I'm an agnostic who feels that
organized religion is detrimental to mankind.


Without any intention of proselytizing, have you read anything of
Abelard Reuchlin, who propagated the thesis that the new testament
is a hoax created by the Roman government under the guidance of
one Arius Piso, to implement political-control-by-superstitious fear?
(vid. Abelard Reuchlin, Abelard Reuchlin Foundation, etc.)
Reuchlin comes to the remarkable and fascinating conclusion that despite
being a hoax, the church is fundamental to western civilization, that only
a very small minority of humans in the west are innately moral and naturally
"righteous", the vast majority are utterly depraved degenerate barbarians
by nature, and would be literally eating each other in the stew pot if not for
primal _fear_ of the Christian message, the _fear_ that it _might_ be true.

I don't necessarily agree or disagree, but it is quite a different angle on the
whole thing, food for thought.

I've read these theories but I can't say for sure that they were
Reuchlin's. The history of how the bible was actually written can be
fascinating reading. I have my own theories on religion.

Hello Doug and Larry,
I invite you to read about my own research regarding the Roman
authorship of the New Testament and I know of the research of others
who have likewise studied this area of history and the Bible.

Most aren't, except on Easter and Christmas.

How religion defines America

By Dr Richard Land
Southern Baptist Convention


Unlike some other Western countries, the United States remains an
overwhelmingly religious society. The BBC programme What the World Thinks

of

God examines the modern world's relationship with God. Among those taking
part is Dr Richard Land who explains how profoundly religion influences
American society and politics.
The USA is a very religious society. Evidence abounds demonstrating
Americans' deep and abiding religious convictions.

A Gallup Poll released in November 2003 found that six out of ten

Americans

said that religion was "very important" in their lives.

FAITH IN AMERICA
Protestant (White Evangelical) 30%
Roman Catholics 25%
Protestant (Liberal) 20%
Protestant (African-American) 8%
Jewish 2%
Other 15%
Source: City University of New York (2001)


Hey didnt Egypt, Greece and the Romains also got very religious before there
power died?
Just a observation, perhaps if America wants to remain strong they should
stay away from the church hehe.
