Not to worry -- they may profess faith, but they don't practice it: "Their [American workers'] spiritual lives get short shrift: less than two minutes on weekdays, expanding to about 15 minutes on weekends" ("Workers Most Often Relax Watching TV," _The Chicago Tribune/The Billings Gazette_, September 25, 2004, <http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/09/25/build/business/40-workers-tv.inc>).
On the downside, if American workers are secular in practice (whatever religion they identify with), that's probably because they don't have much free time in any case, and, for what little free time they do have, they barely have enough energy left to do anything except zone out in front of a television ("They are glued to the tube for 11/2 hours on an average weekday and more than two hours on weekends" ["Workers Most Often Relax Watching TV," _The Chicago Tribune/The Billings Gazette_, September 25, 2004, <http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/09/25/build/business/40-workers-tv.inc>]).
