Here are some more statistics on the amount and level of religious belief in the United States. I was reading the Forum in the Sun. More people in the USA believe in ESP than in evolution. The problem in this country is not crime and greed. It is ignorance.
Ignorance breeds crime and greed.
No wonder the voter in this country is so gullibile. We are an ignorant country who somehow has managed to become more affluent than other ignorant countries. Religion can provide answers, meaning, inspiration, peace, and so on to an individual. That is the good. That is the solution.
