Aaron, Id like to see your sauce on that statistic.

*blushes* nobody has ever asked to see my sauce before

Here is some sauce for example: "According to Gallup, 75% of Americans report praying often or sometimes and religion plays a very (46%) or fairly (26%) important role in their lives. Judaism is the second-largest religion in the U.S., practiced by 2% of the population, followed by Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam, each with 1% of the population." Sauce - wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_the_United_States#:~:text=According%20to%20Gallup%2C%2075%25%20of,with%201%25%20of%20the%20population.

thats not a source for the stats on it being 40%. thats just you reinforcing your opinion. I dont disagree but that 40% sounds high. I know religious people who agree that churches and other religious orgs should be taxed so even if there are 40% of the population is religious, that does not mean 40% are against them being taxed. good sauce would be a link to something that shows me that someone/some org had been peer reviewed to show their stats were legitimate. I only ask as I would like to use that statistic when discussing with people but I dont know if its true yet.

Nevertheless, our Supreme Court may as well be the Catholic College of Cardinals which, when you get down to the nitty gritty, is all that matters. That frightens and saddens me

yeah, I dont disagree. we're on the same page, but I just wanted something to show people who dont agree.

Ok, you sauced me. Right in the face. But I still don't think I'm wrong. I don't trust hard statistics as religiously as other people do. Too many variables, fibbing, etc.

no no. Im literally just asking where you saw that. Because I'd like to also share it.
