Omg. They have actually asked 290 mio. people that question that's just amazing. Gott im Himmel! Love the advanced technology of our times. Bullshit study. And if this was true how cares. As long as religion doenst intervene with politics and we are dealing with sinsible people.

For the same reason you would pronounce those words correctly when speaking them. So that people can actualy understand what you are saying, which is sort of nececery in any discussion if you want to get your point across.

What exactly is scary about it? Well, being religious is a sort of a mental illness. For example, if people claim that they hear or see stuff that doesn't exist, or if they hold irrational beliefs, they are labeled as mentally ill, according to the DM-IV manual used by psychologists and psychiatrists in this country.

I'm not saying all 92% hear or see or imagine non-existent things, but if 92% described themselves as religous, a sizeable number of Americans hold child-like beliefs. For example, the belief that Santa Claus exists is a child-like belief. The idea that animals have thoughts and ideas ("animism") is a child-like belief.

What follows from this is that a sizeable number of Americans have the mentality of children. But since they are not children age-wise, this implies certain mental problems.

I'm so terribly ill.

Did you read the whole article? I'm by no means "religious" but I probably fit into one of those 4 categories (probably the "distant god" one, where a greater power put the gears of evolution into motion). It's the 31.4% that believe in the Authoritarian God that you should be afraid of, but I don't really see a problem with the other 3 groups.

yeah, and I'm saying that 31.4% of mentally ill people is a very disturbing percentage. Normally, in any given society, this marginal group should not exceed maybe 5-7%.

I understood the thread title to mean that you were freaked out by all 92%.

That 31.4% doesn't come as much of a shock to me, but it's still sad.
