re: #25 Ayeless in Ghazi

I lived in Europe. Outside of holidays and marriages and baptisms, no one goes to Church weekly that much. Depending on where you are, religion is also linked to ethnic identity and culture even if you are not religious. But the Europeans have moved on and view religion as a philosophy rather than some supernatural entity.

I am kind of shocked so many Americans still believe in invisible beings and ghosts and demons and angels and whatever and that there are people possessed by spirits.

I think many Americans are religious because they enjoy religious community (the poor man’s country club) and the philosophies behind it and I am pretty sure fewer Americans will believe in the supernatural aspects of their religions as time goes by.
