43% of those reported belief in god or some higher power. They’re “spiritual but not religious”. So I wouldn’t even call it 30%. One was even quoted as believing in astrology, saying she bet half of it is even a placebo effect.
This is nothing to be excited about. That said, I personally don’t care what people believe, so long as they keep it to themselves.
I read the intro part, but didn’t dive into the meat of the article. I also don’t care what people’s religious views are, as long as it’s nothing more than a belief to them that doesn’t affect anyone outside of them. Unfortunately, that’s not how religion generally works, so my hope is that more and more people stop believing in religion.
