Christianity-undertones in society.

I apologize Maxistkind I have been so busy this week, with little time and some internet issues I did not get to the last round in time. O Ok well first of all your argument is strictly opinionated here is the actual poll I found earlier. That very large majorities of the American public, and almost all (but not all) Christians believe in God, the survival of the soul after death, miracles, heaven, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the Virgin birth will come as no great surprise. What may be more surprising is that half of all adults believe in ghosts, almost a third believe in astrology, and more than a quarter believe in reincarnation – that they were themselves reincarnated from other people. Majorities of about two-thirds of all adults believe in hell and the devil, but hardly anybody expects that they will go to hell themselves. These are some of the findings of a Harris Poll of 2,201 U.S. adults surveyed online between January 21 and 27, 2007, using the same methods used by Harris Interactiveï¿½ to forecast the 2000 elections with great accuracy. The survey also found that women are more likely than men to hold both Christian and non-Christian beliefs. African-Americans are more likely than whites and Hispanics to hold Christian beliefs, as are Republicans. The level of belief is generally highest among people without a college education and lowest among those with postgraduate degrees. * The 90% of adults who believe in God include 93% of women, 96% of African-Americans and 93% of Republicans but only 86% of men, 85% of those with postgraduate degrees, and 87% of political independents. * The 84% of those who believe in the survival of the soul after death include 89% of women but only 78% of men, 86% of those without a college degree but only 78% of those with postgraduate degrees. * The 84% of the public who believe in miracles falls to 72% among those with postgraduate degrees, and rises to 90% among women and 90% among African-Americans. * The 82% who believe in heaven includes 89% of women but only 75% of men and falls to 71% among people aged 25 to 29 and those with postgraduate degrees. On almost all the beliefs that are central to Christianity, there is a general pattern with: * Higher levels of belief among women than among men. * Lower level of belief among people aged 25 to 29. * Higher levels of belief among people with no college education and lower levels of belief among those with postgraduate education. * Higher levels of belief among African-Americans than among whites and Hispanics. Other interesting findings include: * 68% of the public believes in the devil, and 69% believe in hell. * 51% of the public, including 58% of women, and 65% of those aged 25 to 29 but only 27% of those aged 65 and over believe in ghosts. * 31% of the public believes in astrology including 36% of women and 43% of those aged 25 to 29 but only 17% of people aged 65 and over, and 25% of men. * 27% believe in reincarnation, that they were once another person. This includes 40% of people aged 25 to 29 but only 14% of people aged 65 and over. What Christians and Non-Christians Believe One of the more intriguing findings is that not all people who call themselves Christians believe all the conventional Christian beliefs. For example, one percent of Christians do not believe in God, 8% do not believe in the survival of the soul after death, 7% do not believe in miracles, 5% do not believe in heaven, 7% do not believe in the Virgin birth and 18% do not believe in hell. Even more surprising is that some people who say they are not Christian believe in the resurrection of Christ (26%) and the Virgin birth, Jesus born of Mary (27%). Life After Death Most of the 84% of the public who believe in the survival of the soul after death are optimists. Almost two-thirds (63%), including 75% of Christians, expect to go to heaven. Only 1% expect to go to hell. Six percent expect to go to purgatory while 11% expect to go somewhere else and 18% don't know. Humphrey Taylor is the chairman of The Harris Pollï¿½, Harris Interactive. The fact is Marxistkid the belief in God is the right of every man on this earth. This country was founded and based on freedom of religion. It is your right to believe what appeals to you most as is it mine. The truth is the theory of "evolution" is a religion..you say that you want God taken out of government and in Gods place you want the theory of evolution. Well this is extremely Hypocritical and some extremely communistic idealism. The government should dictate what belief is used in politics and decission making?? this leads to complete eradication of freedom of religion. The FACT that you must observe is that the majority of Americans believe in God in some form be it Christianity to Islam the majority of citizens reject your theory. HE THEORY of evolution may be in big trouble, according to no less an authority than Charles Darwin. "If it could be demonstrated," he once wrote, "that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, excessive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down." The breaking down has begun, according to many critics of evolutionary theory -- who are more convinced than ever that Darwin's concept is destined for the slag heap of humanity's failed ideas. In recent years, science has made great strides in understanding the immense intricacies of various organisms. "Inside every human cell sits a tiny encoded DNA coil five-thousandths of a millimeter in diameter -- which, if unfolded, would be one meter long," writes Jay Richards of the Discovery Institute, a Seattle-based non-profit education foundation. "Even Bill Gates has observed: 'DNA is like a computer program, but far, far more advanced than any software we've ever created.'" Evolution theorist Charles Darwin "Darwin knew nothing of these things," says Toronto-based Denyse O'Leary, author of the soon-to-be-published By Design or By Chance? "He was a clever man, but he had no idea what he was talking about. He lived and died before these wonders came to light." Marxistkid you suggest that God be removed from government,(more than it already has been) however it is FACT that the majority of Americans believe in God. It is FACT that the theory of evolution is under great stress today due to the sheer impossibility of life being created by mere chance due to the extreme complexity of life. What you suggest is removing God in government, placing a theory instead, a theory that the majority reject. These ideas are communistic I suggest taking them and Hillary Clinton to Russia or China and attempt to make an impact there. Because it is our right and yours to have a belief system of what ever our hearts desire, and to say that Christianity, a religion based on "love your neighbors as your self", a religion that loves and helps society financially and compassionately is moronic. Take those communistic ideas to Russia because here we are free to choose where we stand. Religion of any proportion has a set of attributes. It is my right to select what side I will stand on due to there religion.
