religion in American life

[Carl Remick]

>Gallup polls
>show that in general Americans tend to be very religious, with about
>six in 10 saying religion is "very" important in their lives, and
>another three in 10 saying religion is "fairly" important. Six of 10
>Americans say they read the Bible at least occasionally, with almost
>four in 10 (37%) saying they read it at least once a week or more
>frequently. One in six (16%) say they read the Bible daily, about the
>same number as those who say they are currently in a Bible study
>group (14%). Almost two-thirds of Americans (65%) say the Bible
>answers all or most all of the basic questions in life.

Forget the presidential race.  *These* are the most depressing poll results 
I've seen in some time.
